Tasting Notes
Nose: Inviting aromas of rich caramel, dark chocolate, and toasted oak, intertwined with hints of dried cherry, baking spice, and a subtle undercurrent of tobacco leaf.
Palate: A powerful yet balanced entry delivers a wave of sweet vanilla, brown sugar, and robust oak, quickly evolving into notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a delicate fruit medley of stewed plums and apricots. A touch of leathery char provides depth.
Finish: Long, warm, and exceptionally smooth for its proof, showcasing lingering notes of spiced oak, dark caramel, and a touch of roasted coffee, with a persistent sweetness that gently fades.
