Tasting Notes
Nose: A captivating and complex bouquet immediately greets the senses. Rich caramel and vanilla are prominent, interwoven with warm baking spices like cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg. Underlying notes of dried fruit, particularly dark cherry and fig, emerge alongside a subtle charred oak presence, hinting at its maturity.
Palate: The 106 proof delivers a robust yet remarkably smooth entry. Initial flavors of sweet toffee and brown sugar quickly transition to a delightful spice mix of black pepper, clove, and a touch of ginger. The creamy mouthfeel coats the palate, revealing layers of toasted nuts, dark chocolate, and a pleasant leathery earthiness. The influence of the 7 years in oak provides a well-integrated structure, balancing sweetness with a gentle tannic grip.
Finish: A long, satisfying, and warming finish that lingers beautifully. Sweet oak and vanilla persist, accompanied by a growing peppery spice that gracefully fades into a memory of toasted marshmallow and dried fruit. A subtle, comforting char smoke note provides depth and complexity, inviting another sip.
