Tasting Notes
"The aroma before the addition of water (which is highly recommended for maximum sensory effect) is spicy and smoke-filled. With water, sweet caramel popcorn and coconut shines through with the barrel spices well integrated. Tasting brings out a bit of leather and apple skins. The finish is long and warming on your palate."
