Nose
Candy cherry with burnt orange, baking spice, and cinnamon notes. Notable warehouse funk is minimal, instead leaning toward bright citrus and spice elements.
Palate
Tobacco, dark chocolate, and spiced Mexican chocolate emerge as the pour opens up. Strong barrel presence with prominent oak spice, creating a drying sensation on the tongue.
Finish
Dry and lingering with a pronounced oak tannin character that gradually evolves into chocolate notes.
Noteworthy
A unique 15-year expression that forgoes expected warehouse funk in favor of rich candy cherry, chocolate, and spiced complexity, though oak dominates the structure.
