Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Deep amber to dark brown with an oily, viscous coat on the glass.
- Nose
- Intense smoke and char dominate the nose, followed by notes of caramel, leather, and a hint of sulfurous minerality. Black pepper and burnt wood create a bold, almost aggressive aromatic profile.
- Palate
- Rich and full-bodied with aggressive charred oak flavors upfront. Chocolate, molasses, and roasted grains develop on the palate, balanced by peppery spice and a subtle sweetness. The mouthfeel is thick and warming.
- Finish
- Long, smoky finish with lingering char, licorice, and black pepper notes. A drying quality persists, leaving minerality and smoke on the finish.
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
