Nose: Caramel and brown sugar sweetness, followed by oak and light spice. Hints of dried fruit, especially raisins and dates. A subtle vanilla note lingers in the background.
Palate: Smooth and rich with a medium body. Flavors of maple syrup and baked apples upfront, transitioning to toasted nuts and cinnamon. A touch of black pepper adds warmth. Subtle notes of leather and tobacco emerge as it develops on the tongue.
Finish: Long and warming. The sweetness fades to reveal more oak and spice. Leaves a pleasant dryness reminiscent of unsweetened cocoa powder. Lingering hints of clove and nutmeg round out the experience.
