Tasting Notes:

Rich amber color. Rich oaky nose with notes of cinnamon, clove, spice, apples, and spicy alcohol. Very smooth in body and texture on the palate. There is a very dominant character of rich oak throughout and notes of vanilla, candied fruit, caramel, and raisin. Finishes clean with nice notes of oak and mellow dried fruit.
