Tasting Notes
"Despite the obvious ethanol on the nose, there's a lot to like. The aromatics include toasted oak, dark red fruit, vanilla and spice. On the palate the top note is grain-heavy, but underneath is a pleasant sweetness with distinct cherry, cinnamon and clove flavors. The finish is long and oaky and has a touch of dark chocolate."
