Tasting Notes

Nose: A welcoming bouquet of sweet caramel and vanilla bean, underpinned by dried apricot and a whisper of baking spice, primarily cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg. Subtle hints of toasted oak and a light floral note add complexity.

Palate: The entry is rich and smooth, immediately delivering flavors of brown sugar and honey, evolving into a pleasant warmth with notes of black pepper and charred oak. Orchard fruits like apple and pear emerge, mingling with dark chocolate and a faint leathery characteristic. The higher ABV (50.3%) is evident but well-integrated, providing a delightful textural viscosity.

Finish: A medium-to-long finish, lingering with warm spices and a touch of dryness. Sweet oak tannins and a final flourish of caramel and dark fruit recede gracefully, leaving a pleasant, memorable aftertaste.
