Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Brilliant burnt orange, old copper kettle color. An astounding amount of fruitiness leaps from the aroma in ambrosial waves of dried pear, dried apricot, white raisins (sultanas), figs, pineapple, but also loose leaf tobacco, cedar plank, sawdust. Taste profile soars with top rank flavors of candied walnut, cola, vanilla bean, nutmeg, rancio. Finishes long, bittersweet, cola-like, slightly salty, hugely satisfying and complex.
