Tasting Notes
"Hickory barbecue smoke and lit charcoals show up first on the nose, ahead of molasses sweetness and oak. The palate is rich with maple syrup and vanilla extract, along with barrel char, rye spice, and black pepper. On a moderate length finish find cigar ash, caramel-drizzled pretzels, toasted rye bread, cocoa powder, and spearmint."
