Gold color. Aromas and flavors of fennel seed, red berries, cracked black pepper and roasted beef, and canelé with a satiny, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, complex, medium-long finish revealing notes of apple butter and poached pear, angelica root, anise, and orange peel. A fruit-forward Whiskey with rich and delicious under currents of baking spice.
