Tasting Notes
- Nose: caramel nougat, oak dryness, and a touch of sherry funk. In the glass, dark fruit and toasted whipped cream come to the forefront.
- Palate: gentler on the palate than the nose before building into waves of dark red fruits and raisins. Orchard fruit, apples, plums, raspberries, dates, and sweet nuttiness. Full bodied, with good mouthfeel.
- Finish: Soft and short to medium length finish. Honey, bitter chocolate, and toasted oak. Less sherry influence and more bourbon oak.
