Tasting Notes
Nose: A sophisticated and inviting bouquet opens with rich caramel and deep vanilla, layered with toasted oak and a delicate hint of baking spice – think cinnamon and nutmeg. Underneath, a subtle fruitiness emerges, perhaps dried apricot or cherry, gently lifted by a whisper of leather and tobacco, indicating its barrel strength maturity without being overly aggressive.
Palate: The entry is robust yet beautifully balanced. The 111 proof delivers a generous warmth without harshness, immediately showcasing a wave of dark chocolate, toffee, and roasted nuts. Mid-palate, the oak influence is pronounced but sweet, intertwined with notes of dried fruit medley, black pepper, and a touch of orange peel. The mouthfeel is viscous and coating, a testament to its barrel-strength character, offering a delightful chewiness.
Finish: The finish is exceptionally long and satisfying, with lingering sweet oak and vanilla. The spices evolve into a gentle but persistent warmth, featuring cedar and a touch of char. A pleasant dry oak tannin emerges, balancing the initial sweetness, leaving a sophisticated impression of dark caramel and a faint smokiness that tempts another sip.
