Tasting Notes

Nose

Vanilla and roasted chestnut dance out at you, wrapped around a powerful ethanol heat, for an aroma that is both pleasant and cautionary about the high alcohol content. Like a this is a robbery note delivered by a teddy bear. A couple of hours in the glass and the ethanol subsided substantially and all the aromas coalesced into an intoxicating bouquet redolent of fresh baked apple pie with a healthy dose of cinnamon.

Palate

Heavy but still silky mouthfeel that delivers a well balanced medley of oak, vanilla, and roasted nuts. The oak was prominent but without any tannic bitterness. Those cooked apple, malic undertones lingered softly on the elegantly long and smooth finish.
