How it drinks

- Nose
- Complex bouquet of dark caramel, toasted oak, and leather with undertones of dark cherry and cocoa. A faint note of tobacco leaf adds sophistication.
- Palate
- Velvety texture with intense caramel sweetness balanced against robust oak tannins. Flavors of dark chocolate, black cherry, and pepper create a sophisticated palate with excellent complexity.
- Finish
- Extended finish with warming spice, persistent oak dryness, and lingering cherry notes. The high proof delivers a satisfying, warming conclusion.
