Tasting Notes
"The nose is a sweet and spicy mix of black cherry, clove, and sandalwood mixed with a slight hint of charcoal smoke. The palate takes on richer tones of malted chocolate, caramel corn and toasted grain bread along with a big hit of spice — clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and sarsaparilla. The overall effect is a balance of warmth, charcoal toastiness and cereal richness with just the right amount of sweetness and spice. "
