Tasting Notes
"The nose presents with a confectionery scent along with a moderate amount of oak, some popcorn, and light dose of leather. It's a bit slick and round on the palate with a medium sweet taste that becomes peppery and lightly spicy at the finish. Red fruit is found on the mid-palate and the char smoke sticks around at the end. Not quite a sipper, but would say for the price it's one you can add to the home bar to use in cocktail applications or drink on the rocks."
