“Vanilla and rich wood sugars lead an intensely sweet nose, evoking a creamsicle with bright orange peel and undertones of roasted pecan. The palate is beautifully balanced, with velvety tannins and wood sugars giving way to vanilla toffee pudding and a creamy, custard-like richness. A burnt citrus note ties into the oak and the full proof, adding gentle heat to the finish. Dessert in a glass, and a barrel that will win over a crowd.” —Skurnik Whisk(e)y Portfolio
