Aging in American oak adds nuances to its heady perfume of coffee, cocoa, and crème brûlée. Spiced notes of cedar are surrounded by orange zest, white pepper, walnut paste, and banana bread. Lush, semi-dry flavors of sarsaparilla lead to a soothing finish to please the tastebuds, of earth and burnt almonds. 80 proof.
Subdued notes of toasted cocoa bean and sun tea offer an ethereal quality, with a streak of minerality. Its bold nature is soon to be revealed at mid-palate, with black pepper, cigar leaf, and charred cedar creating a crescendo of intensity.
With a nose of vanilla-blueberry and bright earth tones, it poses a delicate entry mirroring its aromas. Vanilla marshmallow and clay, Brazil nuts and a fine salinity are highlights of this layered spirit. Anise adds a creamy texture on the lengthy finish.
Woodsy and spiced, an exotic array of clove, sarsaparilla, and hazelnut reveals itself on first sip. Cinnamon-clove and lemon verbena drape over the palate for a satisfying ending.
Earthy and spicy, with a hint of black peppered coffee bean. Minerality is cleanly positioned as the foundation of this bold expression. Finishes with tobacco and walnut.
Sea breeze aromas are focused on salt and persimmon. Creamy on the palate, with a dense wash of anise, graphite, and cocoa. Cherries are in step with ripe pineapple on the luxe finish.
Aged 12 years, cedar wraps around the tongue, with brush strokes of black cherry, bittersweet dark chocolate, and burnished leather. Complex, with a dry, stony finish.
A prickle of white pepper and cinnamon hots add intensity to a suede texture. Notes of toffee and oak are tempered, and the tannins are detectable, but overall, the liquid is graceful and pure.
