Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Golden amber
Nose
Dark sherried notes lead with plump raisins and thick honey. Orange peels, cooked apples, and sweet vanilla. Clementine and malt underneath. Rich sherry influence throughout.
Palate
Medium mouthfeel with sherry sweetness and heavy vanilla. Honey-dipped richness, dark chocolate, and cinnamon. Chewy oak tannins arrive mid-palate with a satisfying weight.
Finish
Oak tannins dry the finish with lingering dark chocolate and warm cinnamon. Medium-long with a sherried aftertaste.
