Nose
French vanilla and crème brûlée character with burnt cream notes. Rich and sweet. Medium-dark amber color indicates age and oak influence.
Palate
Sweet and syrupy with candied apple and caramel apple character. Toasted nuts and butterscotch emerge. Faint licorice candy note on the mid-palate. Beamy character evident. Softer drinking experience despite high proof.
Finish
Long and persistent sweetness. Licorice candy note lingers subtly. Nutty undertones.
Very good
A rich, sweet expression with candied apple and toasted nut complexity, delivering an approachable and cognac-like drinking experience.
