Tasting Notes
"Toasted nuts, berry fruit and a light char smoke greet you on the nose. As you taste, the flavors are tangy and fruity with the mid-palate showing a rich malty flavor with ruby port at the edges. It's lightly tannic on the palate. Finish length is above average. Despite the proof, it's pretty easy-drinking. A light splash of water enhances the rich flavors. Would serve this with dark chocolate."
