Nose
Streaks of golden-brown sugar and nutmeg. Ripe fig with marshmallow and macaroon sweetness. Oak tannins.
Palate
Brown sugar and caramel with figgy richness and big oak.Buttered almonds with warm cereal tones.
Finish
A bit hot, with a punch of clove and oak, but settles in for the caramel sweetness.
Comments
Does not short you on the powerful finish of clove and oak. Settle in,
my friends.
Score
9.0

Nose
This is so complex, like opening the door of a spice cabinet. Cinnamon, ginger, honeysuckle, nutmeg, brown sugar, and even a little cocoa.
Palate
Baking spices, toffee, crème brûlée, with pipe tobacco, old book leather, and oak.
Finish
Wonderfully balanced with the combination of sweet and dry notes.
Comments
Add water and dark cherries join. Truly elegant and beautiful. Bravo! Enjoy watching it unfold with a large ice cube.
