House Review
  • Nose:

    Deep and full of flavor. Cherry, cinnamon rolls, dark chocolate, cookie butter, bananas foster, mocha and taffy

  • Taste:

    Great viscosity on the palate, which is oaky and lovely. Cornbread, praline, cherry syrup, plenty of oak, caramel-drizzled brownies, espresso grounds, nougat, cinnamon, clove, tobacco and mint chip ice cream.

  • Finish:

    Oak and char lead the finish, followed by dark chocolate, crème brûlée, peanut brittle, pepper, cinnamon, blackberry jam and stewed cherries

  • Overall:

    A beautiful, layered expression that's really well balanced and jam-packed with flavor. The amount of oak is just right.

  • Score:
