Nose: It’s like someone lit a candle made of rye spice, dark cherries, peppermint bark, and a scoop of buttercream frosting. A citrus twist saunters in, just to keep things flirty.

Palate: First sip and BAM — apple juice in silk pajamas, brown sugar doing the slow dance, vanilla and honey holding hands in the corner. The rye spice doesn’t punch, it winks. Citrus zips through like someone left the window cracked in a very good way.

Finish: Long. Lingering. Like a Colorado winter wrapped in a velvet robe. Rye spice and sweet vanilla oak cuddle up and don’t leave till brunch.

This isn’t just a pour — it’s a vibe. A fully unclothed, unbothered, flavor-rich experience. Proofy enough to keep your chest warm, sweet enough to make you grin, and balanced enough that even your bourbon-loving uncle would nod in approval.
