Tasting Profile:
Nose: Intense and complex, with deep notes of caramelized brown sugar, dark cherries, vanilla bean, toasted oak, and warm baking spices (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg). Hints of leather and pipe tobacco emerge as it opens.
Palate: Bold and full-bodied, delivering layers of dark chocolate, burnt caramel, toffee, and charred oak. Spiced honey and roasted nuts add warmth, while dried fruit (dates, figs, blackberries) rounds out the depth.
Mouthfeel: Viscous, coating, and rich, with a noticeable heat from the high proof that mellows into a silky texture with a few drops of water.
Finish: Exceptionally long, with lingering notes of toasted marshmallow, espresso, and black pepper. A pleasant smokiness intertwines with hints of maple syrup and aged leather.
