Good Times Cranberry Vanilla Cask Finish Bourbon bottle reference image

Appearance / Color

Deep copper

Nose / Aroma / Smell

Vanilla icing, berry jam, candy cranberry, sweet oak, and holiday-baking spice.

Flavor / Taste / Palate

Vanilla custard, cranberry compote, caramel corn, cinnamon, and a sweet-tart fruit core.

Finish

Warm and dessert-like with lingering vanilla, tart red fruit, and gentle oak spice.

This is not a subtle bottle: the entire point is layering confectionary vanilla and red-fruit tartness onto a barrel-strength Indiana bourbon base. It should read festive, sweet, and a little polarizing, which makes it a strong discussion bottle.
