Tasting Notes
"The nose offers dark chocolate brownies, menthol, and grape jelly atop a spicy backbone. The palate begins with astringent oak, musty cellar, and wood shavings, and opens up into candy fruit chews, honey, plums, doughy bread, and chili flakes. The finish is hot and dry, with spearmint, lemon, black pepper, and cloves."
