Nose: Starts sweet with caramel apple up front, followed by rich and complex layers of honey, vanilla, rye grain spice, and charred oak underneath.
Palate: Sweet caramel and fruit at the start that gives way to a complex flavor of wood and rye spices.
Finish: Smooth and drawn-out, where lingering spice flavors mingle with dried fruit and a pleasant fading warmth.

Nose: Beautiful layering of brandied cherry over a mildly tart cherry. It opens up with time and is reminiscent of cutting into your dessert with your fork which releases cinnamon and baking spices with just a hint of oak to remind you that this is high proof youthful.
Palate: A robust rye with dark cherry, burnt vanilla, and spices for days. It's a delicious rye with a weighty mouthfeel.
Finish: The finish is long and the spices dominate this batch, while the cherry does punch its way through to the surface.
