Aroma: butterscotch, fig, and nutmeg, lighter sweet notes of honey, caramel and chocolate, and other notes of pecan and stone fruit.

Palate: initially sweet with those prominent caramel notes, but rather quickly transitions to spicy, featuring black peppercorn. Once some of the spiciness fades, you’re left with a smoky, charred oak note and some bittersweet chocolate. Just before the finish it mellows out a bit and features that caramel sweetness again, along with some very nice baking spice notes.

Finish: medium in length, but continues on with a tinge of smoke, caramel and baking spice
