Tasting Notes
"Cocoa powder dusted dark chocolate truffles shine through on the nose, with spearmint gum, spicy oak, and earthy-leather undertones. The palate offers salted caramel and peanut shells, along with licorice, oak, and baking spices, with a bit of a sharp astringency coming through towards the back. This one stays chocolate through and through, with chocolate syrup, Peppermint Patties, and barrel char closing the show. "
