Nose

The nose is deep, rich, sweet, and complex. Coffee is instantly noticeable. This note is accompanied by butter, butterscotch, and sea salt dark chocolate.

Palate

The first sip coats the entire mouth with an oily velvety texture. Notes of young oak, dark coffee, are present and accompanied by a slight warmth in the chest. The second sip begins with a slight bitterness that fades to vanilla, black coffee, and coco. The third is similar to the notes above with the addition of oak spice.

Finish

The finish is long and pleasant. Notes of butterscotch, oak, Necco wafers, dark chocolate, and vanilla were preset.
