Nose

Intense smoke and roasted nuts. Faded fruit tones of golden apple and melon. Earthy tobacco and herbaceous sage round it out.

Palate

Butter Brickle and crushed pecan on first sip. Caramel reaches quickly with nice textural elements. Tingle of ginger that li s to cinnamon.

Finish

Warm and dry, lingering with the spices and a surprise bite of butterscotch at the end.

Comment

Flavors carry through with 8.0 persistence for quite a ride on the spices.
