The Nose: Caramel. Vanilla. The familiar comforts of the deep woods and warm hearths. But linger a while, and you’ll catch more — chocolate, faint but certain, and orange peel drifting in like autumn wind. A rich aroma, full-bodied, yet kind. The high proof hides itself beneath the cloak of sweetness. Clever thing.

The Palate: It begins gently. Brown sugar and vanilla custard unfold like a well-worn scroll. Then come caramel and spice — cinnamon, allspice — whispering stories of distant lands and old barrels. The flavors arrive in waves, not all at once, but with patience and purpose. This is not a bourbon for hasty drinkers or hurried minds.

The Finish: Ah… the finish. Long as winter’s shadow, but warm as a fire beneath an ancient oak. Caramel, vanilla, and orange peel return, joined now by a hint of tobacco — aged, thoughtful, never bitter. It lingers, not to boast, but to remind.

The Proof: High, yes. But no sharp edges. The heat is measured, woven into the fabric of flavor. Not overwhelming. Not boastful. Just present — like wisdom passed from elder to fledgling.

Final Thought: This bourbon is no mere drink. It is an experience — complex, layered, evolving with every sip. Some say it costs too much. Perhaps. But some things — like starlight, or silence between old friends — are not so easily measured.

If you seek depth and balance, if you listen more than you speak… this bourbon will speak to you.
