A truly unique expression, this vintage offers a profound tasting experience for the discerning palate.
Tasting Notes
Nose: A captivating interplay of rich roasted coffee beans and dark chocolate, immediately dominant, followed by a warm embrace of vanilla, charred oak, and a subtle underlying sweetness of caramel and brown sugar. Hints of dark fruit, like dried cherry or plum, emerge, mingling with a faint whisper of baking spices.
Palate: Full-bodied and velvety, the palate delivers a powerful wave of espresso and dark roasted coffee, balanced by the familiar warmth of bourbon-aged sweetness. Layers of bittersweet chocolate, toffee, and a complex malty backbone unfold. The oak influence is present but well-integrated, contributing notes of vanilla bean, subtle char, and a touch of spicy warmth. The 12.5% ABV is incredibly well-hidden, contributing to a smooth, almost liqueur-like texture.
Finish: Long and lingering, the finish is a delightful dance of persistent coffee and dark chocolate, slowly fading into a comforting warmth of oak, residual sweetness, and a pleasant, dry cocoa bitterness. A subtle hint of lingering vanilla and an echo of bourbon spice round out the experience, inviting another sip.
