Tasting Notes
From Grain to Glass
Terry Ballard
Head Distiller
Surprisingly rich in color—reminiscent of Oloroso sherry, deep and vibrant. On the nose, the first note that carries through is cinnamon, followed by a crisp apple aroma. It holds beautifully to the glass, showing good structure.
The palate opens with warm cinnamon, honey, and a pleasant spice. A subtle hint of apple tucks in the background.
Mouthfeel is warm but smooth—remarkably easygoing for 118 proof.
The finish lingers with a cozy, candied apple and cinnamon warmth, like a spiced dessert fresh from the oven.
