Wonders of the World (Swell De Spirits)

The nose is full of bold fruit and creamy oak, with notes of barely mixed in. Cinnamon spice cake soon comes out, as does a bit of brown sugar. It is very fruity and creamy, reminding you of the perfect Christmas dessert. The palate is spicy, creamy and sweet, as well as somewhat dry. As a wave of barely and fruit sweep across the mouth, the spice intensifies. It is a lot bolder than you would think, but everything is in amazing balance. Richness comes out as it settles a bit, really bringing home how cakelike this is. The finish is long, creamy, spicy and a bit fruity. It is stunning to drink and experience. The got the combination right with cask strength from new oak. This will be sorely missed.
