Sweet spiced oak and dusty wheat nose. Viscous and silky. Heaven hill signature nutty note. Wheat sugar, light caramel, muddled fruit, and candy oak spice. Slightly drying finish with a medium hug. Not amazing, but a very good pour worthy of the HH barrel proof releases. Looking forward to the bottle opening up.
