Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich aromas of dark caramel, toasted vanilla bean, cinnamon bark, roasted peanuts, and charred oak rise from the glass with hints of baked apple and brown sugar.

Palate: Full-bodied and intensely flavorful, featuring layers of toffee, molasses, baking spice, smoked oak, and candied pecans balanced by bursts of cherry syrup and cocoa.

Finish: Long, warming, and deeply satisfying with lingering oak spice, leather, sweet pipe tobacco, and a touch of espresso bitterness.
