Rich cherry candy/cough syrup on the nose, with acetone and floral notes and hints of vanilla. The palate opens with barrel tannins but quickly smoothes out with that cherry candy sweetness - combined with the dryness of the oak, it gives Rockets (Smarties for the Americans) candy vibes. Medium body here, quite a delight to sip neat. We were tempted to use it for eggnog (out of desperation), but I couldn’t waste an ounce of the pure goodness. Warehouse: HE Barrel: 11-3H
