Tasting Notes

Nose: A gentle and inviting aroma, starting with soft vanilla and caramel, evolving into notes of fresh orchard fruit like pear and green apple, underpinned by a delicate oak spice, a hint of rye, and faint floral undertones.

Palate: Smooth and approachable on the palate, presenting a balanced interplay of creamy vanilla, light butterscotch, and sweet maple syrup. Mid-palate reveals subtle fruitiness – dried apricot and peach – mingled with a whisper of cinnamon and allspice, characteristic of Canadian rye grain. The texture is soft and medium-bodied.

Finish: A clean, medium-length finish that is surprisingly soft and warm. Lingering notes of sweet oak, a touch of brown sugar, and a mild peppery spice fade gently, leaving a pleasant, easy-drinking warmth without harshness.
