Tasting Notes: Bright, sweet and chewy. The nose is full of cherry, cherry blossoms and toffee. Those notes then mix with a bouquet of fresh flowers and dehydrated oranges. The palate has an immediate note of angostura bitters and root beer. Silky and syrupy the palate is viscous. The aged vanilla and cola notes continue to develop. There backed with a nice touch of baking spice and stewed apples. There are some drier notes as it moves to the back palate. A little bit of cedar and licorice. This all leads to a balanced finish of dried almonds, vanilla bean ice cream and black pepper.
