- Nose
- Inviting and complex with prominent sweetness, notes of vanilla, caramel, honey, and subtle oak. Hints of cinnamon, dry hickory nuts, floral rose, and a touch of herbal or medicinal mint.
- Palate
- Smooth and balanced with rich vanilla and caramel, creamy texture, toasted oak, and mild spiciness. Flavors of pear juice, white pepper, star anise, nutmeg, and old dry oak, with tart fruits like underripe strawberries and candied fruit.
- Finish
- Long and lingering with a gentle warmth. Sweetness of vanilla and caramel persists, balanced by oak and spice notes. Dark fruit, herbal notes, and a slight metallic or astringent quality can be present.
