Tasting Notes

"Apples and orchard fruits lead on the nose, with well-worn suede, bitter coffee, and spice. A big palate is pleasantly smooth for the proof, with tannic dry oak, baking chocolate, and a hefty portion of rye spice. A full finish delivers a warm embrace, with baking spices, oak, and vanilla backed by notes of black pepper and spearmint. Add water to bring out more rich, vanilla sweetness alongside still powerful rye spice."
