Taste Notes

- Nose: Sweet vanilla, caramel and oak dominate the nose, with a hint of dark fruit and a slight spice.
- Palate: Rich and smooth up front on the palate, with flavors of honey, maple syrup, and dried fruit (raisin & fig). Oak on the back end brings nice complexity to the flavor profile.
