Tasting Notes
"Brown sugar emerges first on the nose along with tinges of a dark rum & Coke, which appears to be a house trait. There's also plum and red fruit, along with Luxardo cherry syrup. The palate is soft, with a rich sweetness emerging late, showing vanilla, prunes, dark red fruits, and walnuts. The finish lingers with sweetness and no burn, before shifting to oak and wood spice."
