House Review
  • Nose:

    Sweet buttercream, honey, nougat, whipped butter, sweet vanilla bean and a hint of cinnamon, nutmeg and spice.

  • Taste:

    Moderate palate, heavy on rich baking spice, toffee and beautiful sweetness. Maple, brown sugar, toffee and some vanilla, graham cracker. It’s sweet, balanced by baking spice, light on the oak and big on the dessert character.

  • Finish:

    Medium finish, pleasant and sweet again with a nice balance of oak, toffee, cinnamon.

  • Overall:

    This is pretty nice stuff! Heavy on wood spice, dessert and toffee and shows how much a finishing barrel can impart! Not wildly complex, but delicious through and through.

  • Score:

    85
