Tasting Notes
"A spicy nose soon reveals orchard fruit and ripe apples, along with vanilla. Dark brown sugar comes strong on the palate, with vanilla, white chocolate, and tart cherries. The finish is quite sweet and rich, then moves into drier oak with cinnamon, but the sweetness continues to linger and never leaves. Incredibly smooth especially at the proof. "
