Nose: Sweet tobacco, toasted oak, and bursts of dark cherry and baking spice, like opening an old cedar chest filled with spiced fruit preserves.
Palate: Rich, viscous, and unapologetically vibrant. Layers of caramelized brown sugar, candied orange peel, clove, and cracked pepper unfurl with explosive warmth.
Finish: Long, peppery, and robust. A dry, spicy fade lingers with rye grain heat and hints of toffee and charred oak.
