Tasting Notes

Nose: Inviting aromas of baked orchard apple, rich caramel, toasted marshmallow, and vanilla bean, complemented by polished leather, dusty rye spice, and gentle charred oak.

Palate: Silky and balanced on the palate, opening with buttery toffee, clover honey, and candied citrus peel, followed by layers of cinnamon, nutmeg, and seasoned oak woodiness.

Finish: Medium-long and warming, leaving notes of dried dark fruits, sweet tobacco, cracked pepper, and lingering caramelized oak tannins.
