Tasting Notes
Nose: A sophisticated bouquet of aged oak, rich caramel, and vanilla bean immediately captivates. Subtle hints of dried red fruit, like cherry and fig, emerge alongside baking spices such as cinnamon and a whisper of nutmeg. A delicate floral undertone and a touch of roasted nuts provide further complexity.
Palate: The palate unfolds with a luxurious warmth, delivering a harmonious blend of sweet and savory notes. Deep caramel and toffee are prominent, beautifully balanced by a robust oak presence that is both woody and slightly tannic. Dark chocolate and espresso notes interweave with dried apricot and a savory spice blend of clove and black pepper. The 107.6 proof provides a delightful warmth without overwhelming the intricate flavors, offering a chewy and full-bodied mouthfeel.
Finish: A long, lingering finish that gracefully fades, leaving behind a memorable impression of sweet oak and dark fruit. Notes of leather and tobacco gently recede, giving way to a persistent warmth of cinnamon and a touch of smoky char. The finish is remarkably smooth for its proof, inviting another sip.
