Nose
Rich brown sugar, sorghum molasses, oak, vanilla, and caramel notes with hints of dark cherries and baked cherry pie with a buttery crust.
Palate
Full-bodied and spicy with prominent oak, walnut, and pecan pie undertones with a touch of tobacco that evokes pipe smoking memories. Bold and hot upfront with spice rolling across the mid-palate.
Finish
Dry on the back of the palate with the oak remaining ever prevalent throughout.
