Tasting Notes
"Find a bold, spicy and peppery nose which also showcases a rich malty sweetness, and fainter floral and honey notes. The palate is hot and tingles the tongue, offering a light peaty smokiness interlaced with resinous char flavors, leather, and earthiness, and just hints of sweet fruit notes and toffee. The finish is short and dry, with more leather and spice. Add a touch of ice, and a much softer, sweeter side bursts out, with coconut, chocolate and vanilla. "
