Tasting Notes
"Sweet, ripe cherries, clove, caramel, and a good hit of char burst onto the nose. Tangy apricot, hot and sweet spices, sweet-tart candies and rye bread take up the front palate. The mid-palate takes on more candied spice (like red-hots), tootsie rolls, and earthy black tea, which add measured complexity rather than becoming too overpowering. The finish is a bit hot, but a pleasant cocoa note adds to the lingering sweetness and spice. "
