Tasting Notes
Nose: A captivating aroma of baked apple and brown sugar leads, quickly followed by notes of toasted oak, caramel corn, and a hint of vanilla bean. Subtle undertones of dried cherry and a whisper of cedar round out the fragrant bouquet.
Palate: The entry is rich and full-bodied, delivering an initial burst of sweet caramel and butterscotch. This evolves into a complex tapestry of dark fruit, specifically plum and fig, intertwined with baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. A pleasant salinity emerges mid-palate, balanced by a noticeable presence of oak char and a touch of black pepper.
Finish: The finish is long and warming, leaving a delightful lingering sweetness of toffee and vanilla. Notes of roasted nuts and a gentle spicy kick persist, gradually fading into a dry, woody embrace with a final whisper of dark chocolate.
