Tasting Profile:
Nose: Deep and welcoming, like stepping into a spice shop at sunset, warm molasses, orange peel, cinnamon, and roasted coffee drift effortlessly.
Palate: Round and robust with layers of rich brown sugar, stewed tropical fruits, nutmeg, and oak. The texture is velvety, with just enough bite to keep things interesting.
Finish: Lingering and gently spiced. It leaves behind whispers of tobacco, vanilla, and dark chocolate, smooth, complex, and utterly satisfying.
