Tasting Notes
"A heavy, powerful nose, the Overproof has a smoky and heavy fruit appeal. Heavy-punching raw sugar with aniseed mingle with golden syrup and vanilla. Thick and smoky again on the palate, weak vanilla struggles against a tide of raw sugar; fruits and dark nutty chocolate that threatens to sweep it away. The palate warms then, becoming wooded and roasted with cherry tones and a plum edging that turns bittersweet as cocoa dust falls across the tongue. The finish is long, lasting through the night and pushing into the next morning, with dark nutted chocolate with cherry with vanilla dance progressively through an ever growing palate. "
