Tasting Notes

Nose: Warm honey is fairly dominant, with a bit of a medicinal funk. Light floral and spice notes appear as it opens up, and there is a slightly overpowering oak note.

Palate: Sweet, hot with a hint of spice and oak. On the mid-palate its chewy with notes of orange, nutmeg, dried fruit, and spice. Hints of sherry cask components and under the oak are more cooked fruit and baking spice notes.

Finish: The oak bite lingers. The result is a strange combination of a clean, short finish at the top of the throat, but a lingering, slightly acrid finish towards the base of the throat.
