Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of opening whiff of freshly polished leather, salted toffee and cornbread, dried oranges, and banana bread with a round, vibrant, bone-dry medium body and a peppery, interesting, medium-long finish with accents of honeyed grains, red apple skin, grass and cooked plantains, elderflower, ginger, and and lemongrass. A great entry level Whiskey that leans into its grain profile.
