Flavor profile

Butterscotch, cinnamon and a touch of cherry on the nose, followed by rich vanilla and caramel. Dry oak spice closes the palate.

Pairing & serving

Try a small neat pour before adding water gradually. Pair with aged cheddar or rye bread with smoked meat.

After opening & when to enjoy

Keep upright, tightly closed, away from heat and sunlight. The spirit is ready to enjoy and does not continue barrel aging in the bottle. After opening, aim to enjoy within about a year for the freshest aroma, especially as the bottle empties.
