Vegetal, damp hay paired with leather and burnt tobacco. Smoke resembles a meaty barbeque with a few peppers tossed on the grill.
Cocoa, toasted sesame, honey and orange rind. Far sweeter and less grassy than its aromas would initially suggest.
Oak, paprika and mellowed spice square off against milk chocolate.
There's a bit of whiplash here between the nose and the palate, giving way to an almost barrel aged flavor that I wasn't expecting. Agave does little to make its presence known, though that isn't necessarily a bad thing if you know what you're getting into. Would pair well with a side of tiramisu.
