Tasting Notes
"Vanilla and spearmint lead on the nose, along with cinnamon and nutmeg, and beneath that, sour cherries and barrel char. The palate is big but leans in the astringent direction, offering butterscotch chews, pretzels dipped in caramel, and cedar, as well as tart raspberries and red fruits. A lengthy finish showcases tannic oak, leather, pine, and more baking spices."
