Tasting Notes
"On the nose there's light, white pepper coupled to a little floral; fleeting vanilla complements the spice and flowers, and there's some modest barrel influence. Some understated spice reappears on the palate--think baked apple. But more important is the enhanced vanilla and some more fully developed caramel (maybe candy apple if we put it all together). The finish, though it seems to shed any specific spice, is nevertheless hotter and peppery (black this time)--but is of modest length."
