Tasting Notes
-
Appearance: A deep, dark ebony with a reddish-maroon hue. It possesses a syrupy consistency that leaves thick “tears” on the glass.
- Nose: An inviting bouquet of sweet molasses, burnt caramel, and maple syrup, followed by hints of ripe peach and roasted coffee beans.
-
Palate: Rich and velvety. Dominant notes of vanilla and chocolate harmonize with earthy spices and a touch of smoky oak. It is sweet but balanced by a slight bitterness reminiscent of stewed tea or dark cocoa.
-
Finish: A long, warming finish with lingering notes of almond, cigar smoke, and brown sugar.
Accolades and Recognition
