Tasting Notes

"The nose offers apple pie topped with a cinnamon crumble crust. Also find mushy overripe apples with green oak, spice, and pumpernickel bread. The palate is somewhat hot on entry and showcases cacao nibs, tobacco, dark chocolate, and malt. A fleeting but robust finish brings dry oak, cedar, sawdust, menthol, brown sugar, and more malty dark chocolate. "
