Tasting Notes
"The nose is a rich mix of butterscotch, milk chocolate, sandalwood and prunes. The palate takes on more savory notes of toasted sesame seeds, cardamom, and thyme mixed with clove and ripe cherries. A creamy chocolateyness adds to a toasty and lengthy finish with pinecone aromatics. "
