Tasting Notes
Deep caramel, dried fruit (fig, date, raisin), leather, tobacco, espresso, dark chocolate, old oak, cedar, clove, allspice, vanilla custard, orange marmalade, toffee, burnt butter. The complexity should unfold over time in the glass. If it hits you as one-note sweetness, something is wrong — either sugar addition or poor barrel selection.
