Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Ripe red fruits like cherry cobbler and strawberry mingle with baking spices of cinnamon, anise, nutmeg, and hints of banana, complemented by vanilla wafers, baking chocolate, toasted pecans, graham crackers, and brown sugar. Layers of caramelized banana, dark cherry, fresh baked bread, and sugar cookie add infectious depth and nuttiness. A touch of herbal lemon tea sweetened with honey provides subtle brightness.
👅 Palate
Sweet caramel, vanilla pudding, chocolate fudge, and tropical toasted coconut lead, balanced by red fruit-infused brown sugar, black cherry, and woody almond skins without overpowering oak bitterness. Velvety, full-bodied mouthfeel delivers chewy complexity with strawberry, creme brulee, rich caramel, and subtle spice like black pepper. Subtle sweetness blooms into warm, green-spiced notes brightened by lemon honey and cherry cobbler.
✨ Finish
Long, drying finish lingers with sweet caramel, vanilla, honey, oak, cherry tobacco, toasted coconut, banana, hot cinnamon, pecans, and menthol cooling.
