Tasting Notes

Nose: A sophisticated bouquet of rich caramel and toasted vanilla leads, interwoven with bright orchard fruits like baked apple and pear. Underlying notes of baking spice—cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg—emerge, balanced by a faint nuttiness and a clean, fresh oak presence.

Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth yet full-bodied, delivering a concentrated burst of buttery toffee and dark chocolate upfront. A wave of dried apricot and cherry follows, complemented by a gentle spice of white pepper and clove. The 100 proof provides a delightful warmth without overwhelming, showcasing the refined sweetness and a subtle leathery depth.

Finish: A long, elegant finish that lingers with notes of sweet oak and a sustained, delicate warmth. Hints of tobacco and roasted coffee bean develop alongside a persistent dried fruit sweetness, leaving a clean, satisfying impression of old-world charm.
