Nose
Fresh lychee and tropical fruits, elegant, sweetly perfumed, hints of apples and herbal notes. Vanilla-like sweet aroma, mango, and a floral, delicate nuance like jasmine.
Palate
Smooth across the palate, robust character, sweetness of rice melds with aromatic qualities from bourbon barrels. Honey sweetness, woody bitterness, and a mellow sweetness derived from rice. Soft attack despite 43% ABV.
Finish
Reminiscent of dry oolong tea with floral notes and lingering fudge accents. Dry finish.
