Nose
Deep and aromatic. Notes of black cherries, cedar, and dried plum unfold with incense, sandalwood, and antique book leather. Hints of dark soy and umeboshi lend umami complexity.
Palate
Rich and textural. Layers of spiced fruitcake, molasses, and chestnut purée build into a crescendo of tobacco, tamari, and roasted walnut. The sherry cask influence is bold, yet balanced by an undercurrent of dried citrus.
Finish
Long, warm, and resonant. Echoes of bitter chocolate, clove, and charred oak linger with delicate floral traces and a final touch of crimson fruit.
