Tasting Notes
Nose: A sophisticated bouquet of rich caramel and toasted oak immediately greets the senses, intertwined with nuances of dried dark fruit, particularly dried cherry and fig. A faint whisper of baking spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of clove – emerges, underpinned by a subtle leathery earthiness.
Palate: The entry is robust and full-bodied, delivering a concentrated burst of sweet vanilla bean and sticky toffee pudding. This rapidly transitions to a complex medley of candied orange peel, dark chocolate, and a pleasant rye spice that tingles the mid-palate. The 108.6 proof provides warmth without being overwhelming, allowing the intricate layers of flavor to unfold, revealing notes of roasted nuts and a touch of tobacco leaf.
Finish: A long, lingering finish that is remarkably smooth for its proof. Sweet oak tannins and dark honey persist, slowly fading into a delightful warmth of well-integrated spice. A suggestion of espresso and burnt sugar gently dissipates, leaving a pleasantly dry, contemplative aftertaste with a final touch of cherrywood.
