Appearance:

Pale golden yellow—reminiscent of a weathered page in a vintage paperback. Light in color due to its moderate aging in new charred oak barrels.

Nose:

Aromas of sweet cream cheese danish, light pipe tobacco, and nostalgic hints of candy shop treats create a gentle yet memorable introduction.

Clean, slightly peppery, and softly spiced. Leaves behind an airy warmth and a dash of sweetness that invites another sip.
