***Recommended, F. Paul Pacult (Spirit Journal): "Pretty amber/topaz/burnished gold color; very good clarity. Enticing smells of buttermilk biscuits, salted butter, and fudge; the additional seven minutes of air contact bring out roasted scents of almond paste, nougat, corn bread, oatmeal, and caramel corn. Entry is semisweet, spirity warm, corn-like, and dry breakfast cereal-like; the midpalate however, is the star of this evaluation as the flavor profile turns buttery, rounded, maple-like, and nutty. Ends up clean, biscuity and keenly spirity, but never hot or fiery. The reined-in spirit is properly managed, creating a firm foundation on which the grain and wood influences shine, in particular, at entry and midpalate."
