Tasting Notes

Nose: A welcoming bouquet of sweet caramel and vanilla, intertwined with notes of toasted oak, a hint of orange zest, and a subtle undercurrent of rye spice and dried fruit, like apricot.

Palate: A medium-bodied entry that delivers a balanced sweetness of brown sugar andbutterscotch, quickly followed by a pleasant warmth of baking spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of clove. The fruit notes from the nose reappear, now more candied cherry and a touch of apple, all resting on a solid backbone of slightly charred oak.

Finish: A moderately long and satisfying finish that is smooth and warm, leaving lingering notes of sweet vanilla, toasted oak, and a pleasant, gentle spice. A touch of dry tobacco leaf can also be perceived, inviting another sip.
