THE DISTILLER’S TASTING NOTES

Nose: Sweet corn, vanilla, oak, cacao
Plenty of woodspice colliding with corn’s sweetness : this tribute to our neighbor's Bourbon delivers even more flavor with this fourth expression. It has also been finished in full-bodied double stout, which adds silkiness and extra cocoa notes.
