Deeper notes reveal Madagascar vanilla bean, a touch of baking spice – perhaps nutmeg and cinnamon – and a subtle underlying earthy tone with a whisper of tobacco leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The entry is smooth and coats the palate generously, showcasing a rich caramel and toffee sweetness. This quickly evolves into a complex interplay of dried cherry, dark chocolate, and a pleasant tannic grip from the extended aging. Spicy notes of black pepper, clove, and a faint whisper of orange zest emerge, balanced by a creamy, almost nougat-like texture. Despite being a 'blended whiskey,' the 12 years in oak have undoubtedly imparted a robust bourbon character.\u003c\/p\u003e         \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e A long, warm, and lingering finish. The oak presence is pronounced but elegant, leaving notes of roasted nuts and dark coffee. Sweetness gradually fades, giving way to a pleasant spice-driven dryness with lingering hints of leather and a faint tobacco sweetness, beckoning another sip.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reserve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52013915734337,"sku":"BOURBON-1781799832751","price":649.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/7223\/6097\/files\/Melrose_and_Company_Melrose_Rare_12_Blended_Whiskey_86_Proof-1_06a06452-962d-429f-af0c-c0dcb90ebd6f.jpg?v=1784877972","url":"https:\/\/heritagereserves.com\/products\/melrose-and-company-melrose-rare-12-blended-whiskey-86-proof","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
