Tasting Notes

Nose: A captivating and nuanced aroma profile opens with delightful caramel and vanilla, intertwined with bright citrus zest and a hint of apple. Undertones of toasted oak and a delicate touch of baking spice, reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg, provide depth and complexity.

Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth and balanced for its proof, delivering a rich tapestry of flavors. Sweet notes of caramel corn and brown sugar lead, quickly followed by warm vanilla and a pronounced, yet refined, oak presence. A gentle burst of dried fruit, like apricot and cherry, emerges mid-palate, complemented by a whisper of black pepper and a subtle, pleasant spice.

Finish: A medium to long finish, remarkably clean and satisfying. The sweetness fades gracefully, leaving behind a lingering warmth of oak, subtle spice, and a gentle echo of dark chocolate and leather. It invites another sip, showcasing its well-integrated character.
