Tasting Notes
"The color is a striking deep mahogany in the glass. Find dried fruits on the nose, with walnuts, clover honey, and dates, all in front of wafts of smoke, salt, and cigar ash. The palate is rich and full, with leather, black pepper, and cedar. Towards the back, it's briny and medicinal, with iodine and menthol. The phenols continue on the finish, with peat, smoke, and tannic oak interspliced with hints of honey, powdered sugar, and citrus peel. "
