Tasting Notes
"The nose is rich and thick, with sugary fruit gummies, honey, and a dose of sherried nuttiness. The palate is oily, and brings spicy oak to offset that honey, along with menthol, walnuts, char, and cinnamon. The finish is spicier still, with citrus zest and pepper, fading away into nuttiness and a light touch of rancio. A bit soft at first, let this one open up to develop its full flavors."
