Nose
Dark dried fruits, figs (fig Newton jam-like character), honey florals with some honeysuckle notes, ethanol-forward initially.
Palate
Layered and complex with mocha (chocolate and coffee notes), dark chocolate, fig, and date-forward fruit. Refined and elegant with multiple flavor dimensions that reveal themselves gradually.
Finish
Long, sophisticated finish with lingering chocolate and fruit notes.
Impressive
A sophisticated, multi-layered double oak expression that pairs excellence in proof and aging with extraordinary depth of flavor, reminiscent of George Strait's refined elegance.
