Tasting Notes

Nose: A sophisticated and inviting aroma of dried dark fruits, particularly fig and prune, intertwined with rich caramel and butterscotch. Subtle notes of toasted oak, vanilla bean, and a hint of baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg emerge, underscored by a faint floral sweetness.

Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth and velvety, delivering a harmonious blend of sweet and savory. Initial impressions of maple syrup and honey are quickly followed by a robust core of mature oak, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts. A delicate peppery spice, reminiscent of rye, provides a pleasant counterpoint to the lingering sweetness.

Finish: A long, elegant, and exceptionally warm finish that slowly fades. Traces of oak and dried fruit persist, joined by a soft, comforting warmth of vanilla and a whisper of smoke. The complexity evolves, leaving a pleasant, refined sweetness on the tongue.
