Tasting Notes

Nose: A distinct and captivating aroma of sweet molasses, intertwined with dark roasted coffee, vanilla bean, and a hint of exotic spices like cinnamon and clove. Undertones of dark chocolate and caramel add further depth.

Palate: The palate is bold and rich, immediately greeting the tongue with dark caramel and treacle sweetness. This quickly gives way to warming baking spices such as nutmeg, allspice, and a peppery kick. Notes of black coffee, dark chocolate, and a slight anise or licorice character emerge, balancing the sweetness with a pleasant bitterness.

Finish: A long, lingering finish that is both sweet and spicy. Caramel and vanilla persist, accompanied by a gentle warmth from the spices. A dry, slightly smoky, and cola-like aftertaste rounds out the experience.
