Nose Peach, pear, and apple intermingled with a discernable note of juicy hard candy activates the salivary glands. An intermediary layer of floral whispers meshes well so as to not be overbearing and gives way to a sugary dessert foundation: sugary cereal and cinnamon roll. 

Palate The front palate is strikingly sweet and fruity. The apple transfers through the most in the form of warm, baked apple pie with nutmeg and cinnamon. As it gains momentum across the palate, aged oak and classic white pepper bloom.

Finish While fitting for this particular whiskey, the finish is gentle and brief. The oak pushes through and transforms into a burst of rye. The finish makes its presence known, but drinks smooth with virtually no heat, and doesn’t overstay its welcome.

Story Exploring acreage you were instructed not to. Rows of orange trees and alligators in ponds you remember as prehistoric beasts. The rumble of the dirt road, the buzz of grasshoppers, the ominous stillness before the daily thunderstorm. An old man playing guitar for an audience of toads.
