Tasting Notes
-
Nose: A commanding nose of charred oak, deep vanilla, and dark brown sugar, followed by layered notes of mint leaf, eucalyptus, and spice box.
-
Palate: Intensely rich and oily with a rush of cinnamon, black licorice, and molasses, balanced by undertones of burnt orange peel, pipe tobacco, and leather. The 12 years of aging are unmistakable in its dense, layered structure.
-
Finish: Exceptionally long and warm. Bold rye spice gives way to lingering flavors of clove, dark chocolate, and toasted almond, with a dry, earthy edge.
