Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich aromas of dark chocolate, brown sugar, roasted nuts, and a hint of cherry pie. A subtle oak spice backbone emerges.

Palate: A powerful yet balanced symphony of flavors. Intense caramel, vanilla bean, and baking spices mingle with dried dark fruits, leather, and a pleasant warmth. Notes of tobacco and a touch of roasted coffee also appear.

Finish: Long, lingering, and exceptionally warm, with notes of toasted oak, sweet vanilla, and a gentle spice that fades into a pleasant, drying astringency.
