The nose leads with toasted caramel, butterscotch, and baked apple pie. On the palate, the whiskey’s toasted sugar maple barrel finish shines through, with slightly burnt toast, caramelized sugar, and barbecue seasoning. The toasted flavors meld with the sweet baked goods, creating a rich and layered sip, with excellent evolution over time. The finish is dry and oaky, with barbecue roasting over charcoal and barrel char.
