Tasting Notes
"Find cocoa and malty notes with nutty baking spices on the nose. The palate opens with dark chocolate covered oranges, along with light hints of zest, spice, oak, and even floral notes. A rich, enticing finish offers chocolate babka cake and cocoa dusted chocolate truffles, as well as distinct notes of booze or liqueur filled chocolate candies. A chocolate smorgasbord."
