"Sweet and easy on the nose, with brittle mint crackling through the candy. You can feel that bit of extra proof, but the mint smooths and the spun sugar melts on the tongue. Don't be suprised to catch a quick peek of corn just before the gentle finishing coast begins."

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with sunlit honey radiance and a whisper of coppery glimmer, a warm, inviting hue that hints at caramel sweetness and refined oak.
Nose
Sweet and easy on the nose, with brittle mint crackling through candy. A whisper of warmth hints at higher proof, while spun sugar sweetness lingers and a delicate note of corn subtly appears.
Palate
On the palate, candy-sweet with a brittle mint snap that keeps it lively. The extra proof warms the mid-palate, while mint smooths into a spun-sugar sweetness that melts on the tongue. A quick whisper of corn surfaces just before a gentle, lingering finish.
Finish
Gentle finish carrying a hint of corn and mint, with spun-sugar sweetness melting away to leave a clean, lingering fade.
