Tasting Notes

Nose: Initial waves of rich caramel and toasted vanilla bean greet the nose, layered with hints of dried dark fruit, particularly fig and raisin. A subtle spice component emerges, reminiscent of baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, rounded by a touch of oak char and leather.

Palate: The palate opens with a luscious, full-bodied texture. Sweet notes of toffee and brown sugar are prominent, quickly followed by a robust oak presence and complex dark fruit compote. Notes of dark cherry, plum, and a peppery rye spice develop, balanced by a creamy vanilla and a delightful warmth from the higher proof.

Finish: A long, satisfying finish that lingers with warm baking spices, persistent oak char, and a fading sweetness of molasses. A gentle, dry leathery note and a whisper of chocolate round out a truly sophisticated and enduring experience.
