Tasting Notes

Finished with seared French oak staves inside the barrel, which adds the spice and wood that the standard bottling deliberately lacks. The most useful upgrade in the Maker's range.

Nose

vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, baking spice

Palate

rich caramel, seared oak, soft wheat, cinnamon

Finish

long, sweet, oak-driven

Best enjoyed neat, rocks, old-fashioned.
