Tasting Notes
Appearance: -This is a luscious orange-amber in the glass, supported by moderate legs and thick viscosity.
Nose: - The nose has substantial depth, carrying distinct vanilla, oak, brown sugar, and caramel notes, supported by hints of pears and bananas.
Palate: - This is wonderfully aggressive, with char and sweet on the palate, reflecting the nature of the barrel choice. Rich vanilla, hints of coriander, a nod of oak, and a kiss of caramel play alongside supporting considerations of green apples, black pepper, and subtle butterscotch.
Finish: - It finishes with a pop, delivering a bit of sweetness and a nod of char in a long-lasting and fulfilling ending.
