Tasting Notes
"The nose offers toffee and vanilla upfront, along with lighter strands of citrus, spice, and floral touches. The palate starts oily and soft, almost one note. But it opens up in the mid-palate, turning creamier with butterscotch, cereal grain, and cornbread. The finish is mostly smooth but somewhat hot at points, while delivering chocolate and toffee. Add an ice cube to bring out a darker, richer brown sugar sweetness."
