Tasting Notes

Nose: A sophisticated bouquet of dried orange peel, vanilla bean, and baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Hints of sweet tobacco leaf and a subtle whisper of toasted oak emerge, balanced by a delicate floral undertone.

Palate: A rich and complex entry, greeted by warm caramel and butterscotch. This quickly transitions to a medley of dark fruit - cherry and dried fig - intertwined with a pleasant rye spice. The oak presence is refined, offering structure without overpowering, complemented by notes of leather and a touch of honeyed sweetness.

Finish: Long, warm, and exceptionally smooth. The spice lingers harmoniously with a persistent sweetness, developing into a dry, lingering oak influence and a final whisper of dark chocolate and roasted nuts.
