Big spice on the nose, joined by malty cocoa, toffee, butterscotch, red berries and a touch of spice.
Moderate on the palate. A pleasant blend of toffee, sweet oak, some rye spice and big red and black berries, currant and fig.
Long finish, nicely integrated here with a great combination of cassis, fig, raspberry and blackberry, rye spice and custard.
A nice bottling here. The low proof initially concerned me, but this release does a great job of bringing big flavors to a crushable and easy to drink release with plenty of wine character to stay interesting and unique.
