Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Subtly honeyed and fragrant on the nose with perfumes of vanilla, roasted almonds, banana bread, ripe mango, and brown butter. Full-bodied and smooth on the palate, the high ABV adds another layer of complexity and a softened burn that adds to the smooth finish.
