Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich caramel, hints of ashes and charred oak. Vanilla and light fruit notes. A hint of exotic spices. A very rich nose.


Taste: Rich and creamy mouthfeel. Spicy! Ginger, cinnamon sticks, white pepper, and ashes. There’s also nuts and what I would describe as caramel wood. I really enjoy the creamy richness here.


Finish: Medium long finish. Light caramel as well as a rich and dark sweetness. Deep notes of oak, vanilla and honey. A hint of smoke towards the end.
