Tasting Notes
"The nose is gorgeous, full of honey, maple syrup, chocolate, biscuits, and dried apricots. In the mouth, it's so smooth you wouldn't believe the high proof. It's thick, malty, and rich, with notes of cigar tobacco, toffee, leather, crème brûlée, Whoppers, and cherry. The proof and oak assert themselves toward the end, along with a distant floral note, adding a bit of a spicy kicker. "
