How it drinks

Sight
Deep amber with rich, full-bodied color and slight haze from non-chill filtration
Nose
Complex nose featuring toasted oak, vanilla cream, and brown sugar. Hints of cinnamon and clove add sophistication, with a touch of barrel char in the background.
Palate
Rich and full-bodied palate with layers of caramel, oak char, and subtle spice. The non-chill filtration adds textural complexity with creamy mouthfeel. Flavors of dark chocolate and roasted grain develop mid-palate.
Finish
Long, warming finish with persistent oak, spice, and dark chocolate notes. A dry fade with lingering sweetness leaves a sophisticated aftertaste.

Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
