Tasting Notes
"The nose offers hints of a sugary, rich rum, along with a minty and medicinal side, sharp pepper, and spice. The palate offers a supple texture, with vanilla, raisins, oak, and honey all on one hand, and a more astringent character on the other. Molasses and cola lead on a relatively quick finish, also offering vegetal notes. Clearly a young cognac, but still complex."
