Nose
Distinct bourbon and oak wood flavor. Loads of vanilla. Charcoal and woody scents. Green apple, tart, cinnamon, sweet ginger, sandalwood, soft spice wood, and burning incense stick. Waxy apple juice and extremely rich, honeyed caramel.
Palate
Tannic bitterness. The oaky note takes command and forces the soft vanilla and fruity notes into the background. Charred wood. Burnt caramel.
Finish
Prickling peppery. The woody character leaves a long lasting trace of tannic dryness.
