Nose: There is warm caramel overlaying a citrus like lemon peel, with cedar pine, salt, a refreshing note like fresh linens.
Palate: We start with charcoal of the barrel before milk chocolate evolves on the tongue. There is a tangy note on the tongue but the whiskey remains airy and light. The midpalate displays sweet fruit like melon and vanilla. The close is tangy with notes of salted plum.
Finish: There is a light smoke with coffee grounds and white sugar holding across the tongue. It is soft and muted but present.
