House Review
Nose:
Anise, pipe tobacco, red berries, Red Vines, toffee and a touch of old parchment and potpourri.
Taste:
Medium mouthfeel. Spicy and savory, loaded with pepper, floral notes, anise, red berries, a touch of date fruit, strawberries and cream and a touch of vanilla bean.
Finish:
Long finish. This is where this pour shines, delivering rich baking spice, date fruit, tobacco and raisin bread. Fudge, cocoa, blackberry and a touch of creme brulee carry long and far.
