Dark golden, amber hued. Super slow legs. Just hangs on the glass...
Nose is vanilla, chocolate and coconut with hints of leather and a faint note of mint or eucalyptus. Rye contribution is discernable for sure.
Smooth on the palate, showing a balance of sweetness and spices up front. warmth hits and builds following the swallow.
Raisins and cigar boxes come to mind...
Spices and mint early on the finish followed by chocolate, ripe fruit and coconut. Leaves a dry, oaky barrel char for a very long finish mingling with the residual ripe fruit, dark caramel and spice.
Wonderfully complex, but subtle and nuanced in the way that it unfolds.
A very special product, for sure.
