• Palate: Explosive entry of brown sugar, maple syrup, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts layered with baking spice, leather, and black pepper.

• Finish: Long, warming, and complex with charred oak, cocoa, and lingering toffee sweetness that gradually fades into smoky spice.

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat in a Glencairn glass to capture its bold aromatics and evolving depth. Add a few drops of water or a single large cube to release subtle layers of caramel, cocoa, and spice. Perfect for slow sipping, pairing with dark chocolate, candied pecans, or a fine cigar. This barrel-proof expression also rewards patience—let it breathe in the glass to fully reveal its character.
