Nose: Sweet citrus over dense oak and candy corn lay the groundwork. Medium intensity affords approachability with a noticeable lack of heat. A transition to light spearmint and baking spice provides moderate depth, but also a degree of excitement. It's an enjoyable aroma that works well as it comes together.
Palate: Toffee and caramel start out of the gate, which are quickly followed by light vanilla, green apple, citrus, and tempered apricot. The palate hits with approachable intensity allowing the flavors to breathe.
Finish: A soft ramp up in dry oak and rye spice is a welcomed contrast to the whiskey's sweet and savory base. This shorter finish is all too fleeting at times, leaving only a faint trace of spice on your tongue. Thankfully, trace amounts of the palate's citrus and apricot remain during the finish.

Nose: Rich vanilla and caramel are balanced by toasted oak and baking spices, with subtle hints of fruity notes like cherry or orange peel.
Palate: A full-bodied and smooth mouthfeel delivers flavors of sweet butterscotch and dark fruit, with a robust backbone of charred oak, cinnamon, and rye spice.
Finish: Long, warming, and pleasantly oily, the finish lingers with notes of caramel, lingering spice, dry oak, and a touch of roasted nuts.
