Tasting Notes
"Aromas of Granny Smith apple peel mix with maple syrup, milk chocolate, fresh red cherries, clove, and cinnamon. Dark chocolate coats the tongue with sharp clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, and charred oak. There is a lively sweet-tart note reminiscent of old fashioned candy dots mixing with the maple sweetness and subtle nuttiness toward the finish. There's an elegant spark of spicy heat in the finish, as well as the fresh apple peel note from the nose, but these are well balanced by the other spicy and rich elements. Nothing musty about this dusty! "
