Aromas are rich stone fruit, oak, vanilla, caramel and some herbs. Flavors are similar to nose, mildly sweet and add in a touch of butter. Super smooth with some warmth in the finish. Very nice.
Seriously delicious warm sipper, way more cleanly drinkable than the cognac barrel one
Strong, good bite. Hints of maple, vanilla, and honey.
Cinnamon, spicy oak, nutty
