Tasting Notes

Nose: A rich and intense bouquet of dark chocolate, cherry cordial, well-aged oak, and sweet vanilla. Undercurrents of baking spices, molasses, and a hint of roasted nuts.

Palate: A viscous and powerful arrival, coating the mouth with flavors of rich caramel, stewed dark fruits (blackberry, cherry), and robust oak. Spicy notes of cinnamon, clove, and black pepper intertwine with sweet brown sugar and a faint leathery complexity.

Finish: Long, warm, and lingering with a pleasant Kentucky hug. Notes of charred oak, dark chocolate, tobacco, and dried fruit persist, fading into a warming spice and a touch of roasted coffee.
