Mash bill: 75/13/12 Corn/Rye/Malted barley

Tasting Notes: The nose opens with gobs of cherry and rich syrup, sitting right in the center of a rick house. Luxurious, rich, and enveloping, it may not have the most expansive set of notes, but what it gives, it gives in spades.

The palate is round, candied, and full of cherry sweetness, think a syrupy cherry Jolly Rancher with a soft floral edge. It moves into spiced toffee and orange zest, but otherwise drinks like a fruit cocktail with pleasing oak that never becomes overly oak-focused.

The finish keeps that big cherry saturation on the palate, like eating a melted cherry snow cone while walking through the rick house.
