Tasting Notes
"The nose is creamy, with vanilla frosting, butter, and dark brown sugar, along with stewed fruits, and syrupy apricots and plums. The palate has an oily mouthfeel, showcasing more of those sherried fruits, along with black pepper, leather, and pinewood. The finish starts with a sugary, fruity flourish, which fades quickly, hitting a brief sharp note of spearmint, and finally leaving with lingering black pepper and dry oak."
