Tasting Notes

Nose

A warm, inviting bouquet of vanilla and cherry, balanced by rich undertones of brown sugar. Hints of orange zest add a bright, citrusy lift to the aroma, creating a complex and enticing introduction.

BODY

The palate opens with a subtle tobacco earthiness, leading into a wave of caramelized sweetness that coats the tongue. The mid-palate is layered with a touch of rye spice, delivering a gentle heat that complements the sweetness and adds depth.

FINISH

The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of warm spice, a faint oak char, and a subtle return of the citrus zest from the nose. A soft touch of sweet vanilla rounds out the experience, leaving a pleasant, well-balanced impression.
