TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Sweet vanilla and ripe fruits with citrus zest, toasted malt, green apples, banana, caramel, brown sugar, and a powerfully oaky freshness from the virgin American oak — vibrant, clean, and entirely smoke-free.
PALATE
Creamy with soft pepper and butterscotch — freshly ground coffee develops alongside dried banana, ripe fruits, creamy honey, raisin, milk chocolate, and a gentle herbal edge — smooth and mellow with a lively, spice-driven warmth.
FINISH
Medium-bodied and long — aniseed, cocoa powder, and peppery oak warmth fading with a clean, satisfying dryness — a beautifully structured and thoroughly distinctive close.
