Tasting Notes:
Deep aromas of cigar and tobacco leaf and dried stone fruits intermingle with herbs and spices. The balance of sweet and savory works in concert, with the high tones floating above the bass notes. Picture freshly made caramel and burnt sugar, with a hint of vanilla mixed with candied citrus. The palate is very rich and decadent in texture. While this is a bourbon-dominant blend, the rye whiskey controls the conversation on the palate. More herbs; mint, and tarragon, mix with woody notes of cedar and oak. Slightly sweet flavors of dark chocolate-covered peanut butter cup melt with a gentle bitter nocino liqueur, lingering on the palate and leaving you wanting more.
