Tasting Notes
"Red berries and plums lead the nose, followed by dry oak and spice underneath, with soft touches of cinnamon and black pepper. The palate is smooth and sweet, with more berries, honey, and vanilla, as well as dry oak and cedar, and tart cherries. Enjoy a smooth finish with caramelized bananas, brown sugar and molasses, with lighter medicinal and herbal notes, and spearmint. Add ice for a chewier, richer profile."
