Palate
Distinct spice character with creamy corn pudding. Bready yeast notes and caramel with faint vanilla and butterscotch too.

Finish
It flows through to a warm, creamy caramel and corn finish with some spice heat that is airy and pleasing.

Comments
Like riding in a new Mercedes – love the smooth caramel ride and rich leather.

Nose
Chocolate-dusted oak, followed by underripe peach and mellow caramel. In time, brown sugar and vanilla cream arrive.

Palate
Chewy mouthfeel. Tongue-coating caramel with chocolate, peach, and dashes of baking spice. Beautifully balanced.

Finish
Peach, vanilla and caramel hand off to baking spices before drying into fresh oak. Comfortingly warm.

Comments
With water, the fruit, vanilla, and baking spices morph into peach cobbler.
