Flavor Profile
What to Expect: This bottle leans toward Fruity, Sweet & Dessert-Like, and Smoky & Earthy notes. Specific descriptors include apricot, caramel, char / smoke, and dark fruit (fig, raisin, plum).
Finished in French Cognac casks; dried fruit and charred oak on the nose lead to vanilla, caramel, apricot, and raisin, closing on a charred-oak finish lifted by dried fruit.
What Defines This Bottle
Age
This bottle carries no single stated age. Federal labeling rules only require an age statement when a whiskey is younger than 4 years, so a bottle without one may be genuinely young or simply old enough that stating it became optional.
