Tasting Notes
"Spicy, tannic oak appears first on the nose, followed by crème brûlée, and warm cornbread with a pat of melted butter atop it. The palate is astringent at the forefront, featuring oak, barrel char, and cedar, and opens up into French vanilla, cacao nibs, cinnamon, and menthol. A moderate length finish offers leather, cigar box, and woodshop, with closing notes of dark chocolate-covered mints."
