Tasting Notes
"Allspice and cloves kick start a robust nose, alongside leather, vanilla, and oak. The palate is big, starting with both alcohol-heat as well as a capsicum chili pepper type of heat. There's also a medicinal side with spearmint, as well as cocoa powder, and cinnamon. The finish is astringent and moderately long, with black and white pepper, sawdust, and mint."
