"Big, sweet corn dominates the taste with not much to counteract or compliment it. Too sweet to be exciting, but an interesting diversion nevertheless."

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with honey-gold depth and coppery glints, radiating a warm bronze glow.
Nose
Opulent corn sweetness leads the aroma, framed by vanilla cream and caramel. Soft oak provides a quiet backbone, while hints of toasted spice and ripe fruit brighten the bouquet, with a creamy undertone suggesting the bourbon’s generous sweetness to come.
Palate
Pure corn sweetness leads the palate, lush and honeyed, with caramel and vanilla woven through a soft oak frame. A whisper of spice provides gentle lift, but the sweetness largely dominates, leaving a dessert-like, lingering finish that’s indulgent and diverting rather than crisp.
Finish
Sweet corn lingers into a warm, syrupy finish, with vanilla and light oak underpinning a soft caramel sweetness. The sweetness persists, melting into a gentle, honeyed warmth that gradually fades to a quiet, lingering glow.
