Tasting Notes

Nose: Intense and decadent with rich aromas of charred oak, dark molasses, Luxardo cherries, and brown sugar, followed by distinct notes of banana foster, roasted pecans, and vanilla pipe tobacco.

Palate: Viscous and fiery on entry, rapidly unfurling into deep layers of caramelized banana, bittersweet dark chocolate, baking spices, and blackberry compote balanced by heavy toasted wood sugars.

Finish: Monumentally long and warming, leaving a lingering trail of cinnamon bark, dark espresso, seasoned oak tannins, and dried dark fruits.
