Nose
Bright candied citrus and floral overtones give way to rich turbinado sugar and roasted coffee beans as slight cedar and charred oak round out the nose.
Palate
Subtle citrus with heavy notes of dark honey, molasses, and charred oak.
Finish
A dry toasty oaked caramel with lingering bittersweet tannins.
