Tasting Notes
"Initial impressions are of earthy aromas bolstered by caramel and brown sugar, some bitter chocolate and vanilla. Oak, woody spice and pepper emerge on the palate and continue on into a somewhat short finish that also displays nutty caramel. The extended ageing doesn't seem to add much here, but a splash of mineral water makes for a refreshing quaff."
