Final Thoughts
Positioned as a premium expression, Reserve takes the familiar bottled-in-bond foundation and elevates it with older stocks. The nose offers aromas of cinnamon stick, toasted pecan, maple syrup, and herbal rye grain. On the palate, expect a rich medley of vanilla, espresso, candied ginger, and charred oak, with spice building steadily. The finish is lingering, warming, and balanced by dark fruit and spice. Best neat or with a splash of water, it pairs well with roasted duck, spiced desserts, or bittersweet chocolate.
