Tasting Notes

Nose: A vibrant bouquet of caramel, vanilla bean, and baking spices, with underlying hints of ripe red fruit, perhaps cherry or plum, and a subtle floral note that speaks to its Four Roses heritage. A whisper of oak and toasted sugar rounds out the aromatic profile.

Palate: The palate opens with a luscious sweetness, delivering notes of butterscotch, maple syrup, and dark honey. This is quickly balanced by a delightful spice medley of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of white pepper. Mid-palate, red fruit notes emerge, intertwined with a creamy texture and a gentle warmth. Despite the NAS, there's a pleasant depth and maturity that belies its age statement.

Finish: A medium-to-long finish that is both warm and satisfying. Sweet notes of caramel and vanilla linger, gradually giving way to a persistent, pleasant spice and a dry, oak-driven conclusion. A subtle hint of cocoa or dark chocolate might emerge on the very end.
