Tasting Notes

Nose: A powerful and complex bouquet immediately greets the senses with rich butterscotch, crème brûlée, and toasted oak. Beneath these sweet notes, hints of dried dark fruit—raisin and fig—emerge, along with a subtle, spicy undertone of cinnamon and nutmeg, and a whisper of cured tobacco.

Palate: The entry is full-bodied and intense, showcasing its high proof with a warming, velvety texture. Deep caramel and dark chocolate dominate, intermingling with candied orange peel and a robust rye spice that tingles the mid-palate. Notes of roasted nuts, leather, and a delicate espresso bitterness provide balance to the sweetness, all enveloped in a thick, chewy mouthfeel.

Finish: The finish is exceptionally long and lingering, a testament to its age and proof. Sweet oak tannins and dark fruit flavors slowly fade into a persistent, peppery warmth. A satisfying interplay of charred barrel, baking spices, and a final whisper of dark cocoa leaves a memorable impression, inviting another sip.
