Nose
Inviting aromas of vanilla, caramel, and oak, with subtle hints of spice and chocolate. Sharp and sweet, with a strong floral character that swirls with hints of mint, rich tobacco leaf and vanilla.
Palate
Full-bodied and smooth, with complex flavors of vanilla, caramel, oak, and a touch of spice. Bold and balanced with brown sugar, baking spice, toasted oak, and citrus zest. Sharp at first, but softens quickly, with hints of oak, sweet corn and rye grain character. Spicy, with soft vanilla and light orange notes.
Finish
Long and elegant, with a lingering sweetness and refined smoothness. Warm, lingering, and slightly dry with a touch of nutmeg and charred wood. Long, warm and slightly drying. Nice level of sweetness.
