Tasting Notes 

Nose: A rich and inviting bouquet of caramelized sugar, toasted oak, and ripe stone fruits, layered with hints of dark chocolate, baking spices, and orange zest.

Palate: Full-bodied and complex, with waves of butterscotch, toffee, and vanilla complemented by cinnamon, nutmeg, and a subtle rye spiciness. The malted barley adds a creamy texture, while notes of dried cherry and tobacco provide depth and balance.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering flavors of caramel, toasted almond, and a gentle spice, tapering into a smooth, slightly smoky conclusion.
