Bottled at cask strength, 54.9% ABV, in August 2023, it was processed with no chill filtering or additives, maintaining its pure essence.
The aroma offers a subtle spiciness, complemented by the warmth of bourbon vanilla and delicate, dry undertones. Upon tasting, the palate begins with an initial burst of spiciness, followed by the comforting sweetness of brown sugar, finishing satisfyingly dry.
