Tasting note

Nose

The nose is full and inviting, with notes of caramelised sugar and maple syrup filling the glass. Behind that come aromas of toasty oak, ripe dark cherries and a hint of leather, giving the whiskey a robust underlay. A subtle hint of spices, such as cinnamon and cloves, adds extra complexity to the aroma.

Taste

The first sip offers a full, rich texture that fills the palate with notes of butterscotch, dark chocolate and toasted pecans. The Texas heat has done its job: the flavours are intense and concentrated, with hints of black pepper and spicy cinnamon rounding out the taste nicely. As the whiskey develops, deeper notes of dried figs and a hint of smoke emerge, making for a complex and engaging taste experience.

Finish

The finish is long and warming, with a lovely balance between sweet and spicy. Notes of vanilla, oak and a subtle smokiness linger, slowly subsiding and leaving a pleasant, peppery kick.
