Nose: Balanced oak nose with hints of fruit and dried apricots.
Palate: Initial sweet notes on the front of the tongue.

Good balance of sweet and oak flavors including hints of caramel (from the #4 charred barrels, caramelized wood sugar), fruit flavor and rye spice.
Finish: Finishes smooth with no alcohol burn even at 100 proof.
