Tasting Notes

Nose: A sophisticated and inviting aroma of rich caramel, vanilla bean, and aged oak, followed by subtle hints of dried apricot, baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and a delicate floral undertone. A touch of old leather and pipe tobacco emerges with air.

Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth and full-bodied, showcasing a delightful interplay of sweet and savory. Initial notes of dark brown sugar, butterscotch, and sweet corn transition to a lovely burst of dried dark fruits – fig, date, and raisin. The oak presence is refined, offering a pleasant dryness and a peppery spice, underpinned by a creamy texture. A hint of roasted nuts and cocoa lingers in the background.

Finish: Long, warm, and exceptionally elegant. The finish resonates with lingering notes of dark chocolate, toasted oak, and sweet tobacco. The baking spices persist, joined by a subtle cherry note and a gentle, satisfying rye spice tingle. It’s a clean and balanced finish, encouraging another sip.
