Nose: Butterscotch, corn, oak, vanilla, and that spicy nutmeg & star anise hit the nose in an epically well-rounded fashion.
Palate: The delicious sweetness continues on the palate with caramel and honey notes joined by fruity apples & pears, as well as some gentler floral and rye spice notes to round it off.
Finish: Those flavors stick around for a while and are joined by the tiniest whiff of cocoa, leather, and cherries, making for an immensely drawn-out and slightly warming finish.

Nose: Sweet citrus over dense oak and candy corn lay the groundwork. Medium intensity affords approachability with a noticeable lack of heat. A transition to light spearmint and baking spice provides moderate depth, but also a degree of excitement. It's an enjoyable aroma that works well as it comes together.
Palate: Toffee and caramel start out of the gate, which are quickly followed by light vanilla, green apple, citrus, and tempered apricot. The palate hits with approachable intensity allowing the flavors to breathe.
Finish: A soft ramp up in dry oak and rye spice is a welcomed contrast to the whiskey's sweet and savory base. This shorter finish is all too fleeting at times, leaving only a faint trace of spice on your tongue. Thankfully, trace amounts of the palate's citrus and apricot remain during the finish.
