Tasting Notes
Nose: A profound aromatic journey begins with rich vanilla bean and caramelized brown sugar, quickly followed by robust notes of toasted oak, dried cherries, and a hint of baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. There's an underlying warmth of roasted nuts and a subtle earthy tobacco leaf, emblematic of its age and proof.
Palate: The entry is bold and full-bodied, delivering an immediate rush of dark caramel, bittersweet chocolate, and a medley of dark fruits such as black cherry and plum. The high proof is well-integrated, presenting a warming, peppery spice that intertwines with savory leather and pronounced oak tannins. Hints of maple syrup and a whisper of espresso add complexity.
Finish: A long, evolving finish that lingers with satisfying warmth. Notes of dry oak and dark spice persist, complemented by a fading sweetness of vanilla and a lingering charred sugar character. The high proof leaves a pleasant, tingly sensation, beckoning another sip, showcasing its uncut and unfiltered nature.
