Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich aromas of dark chocolate, toasted oak, caramel, and stewed dark fruits like cherry and plum, with a subtle hint of baking spices and vanilla bean.

Palate: A powerful yet surprisingly smooth entry, delivering waves of concentrated brown sugar, vanilla custard, and deep molasses, intertwined with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of roasted coffee. A distinct dark fruit character persists, balanced by a pleasant warmth.

Finish: Long and evolving, with lingering notes of sweet oak, leather, tobacco leaf, and a pleasant char. The spice notes gently fade, leaving a warm, satisfying glow and a touch of bittersweet chocolate.
