Tasting Notes
"A luscious nose draws you in with honey, pears, melons, caramel and vanilla. The cask-strength makes its presence felt on a big, bold palate which brings a rush of heat, underneath which you'll find a smooth collection of oak, spice, honey, and cacao, with feint background minty and medicinal notes. A long warming finish offers more oak along with lasting honey and caramel notes. Add a touch of water and find a softer, creamier profile with some of that heat tampered."
