Sensory Description:

The nose opens with caramel, vanilla bean, toasted pecan, and soft baking spice, supported by a gentle oak frame. The palate is rounded and layered, carrying brown sugar, honeyed grain, cinnamon, and cocoa with a supple texture shaped by the wheated mash bill. Bloody Butcher corn adds depth and subtle earthy sweetness, while mature oak and peppery spice carry through a long, warming finish.
