Tasting Notes
"The nose begins with lemon peels and caraway seeds, followed by spearmint and caramel. The palate is rich and spicy, with cacao nibs, barrel char, gooey brownies, and juicy ripe pears. The finish offers dark chocolate rye spice, and peppercorns, as well as final notes of black licorice, green oak, sour cherries, and caramelized bananas."
