Big oak and spice, honey, toffee, tobacco and pralines. Maple, cake batter, strong spice and oak.
Rich and sticky on the palate, heavy sweetness from clove, maple, brown sugar, vanilla bean and a touch of cocoa. Heavy, spicy, decadent. It’s not too bitter or drying and has heaps of oak in a satisfying way.
Long finish, dry and cherry driven with cola, cocoa, tobacco and toffee.
Really nice release here. It’s not too oaky or dry to enjoy and it shuns the bitterness of other extra aged releases. It’s bold and spicy, although I wish it was a touch more balanced. For the crown jewel of the Remus portfolio, it could be more rounded, and honestly, I’d dial up the profile a bit, but that’s just me.
