Tasting Notes

Nose

It opens with the smell of caramel and custard, accented by hints of allspice. The scent then opens up with notes of dark red fruits and yeast.

Palate

There’s a luxuriousness to the flavor, which combines notes of toffee, stewed red fruits, clove, and ginger. These notes are carried, however, by the yeasty, brothy feel that gives them an umami savory quality that balances the sip. There’s an elegance to the flavor which allows me to explore the intricacies of each taste without any obfuscating sweetness. The finish fades out pleasantly with the aromatic richness of clove and cigar box wood.
