Tasting Notes

"The nose features licorice and cocoa powder, along with Honey Nut Cheerios, and barrel char. The palate has a chewy mouthfeel, and offers baking spices, toasted rye bread, sour cherries, burnt caramel, and butterscotch. The finish is fiery and lengthy, with booming spice, star anise, cloves, green oak, and vanilla extract. "
