Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Bronze/ochre color is pretty. Notes of white pepper, parsley, cardamom, cola nut, jasmine highlight the early aroma which then turns toastier, roasted in the latter stages. Flavor impact is immediate in the forms of deep oak resins, maple syrup, vanilla bean. Aftertaste is long, oily, buttery, semisweet.
