Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Complex and well-aged spirit that shows star anise, caramelized sugar, and sweet custard on the nose, but then explodes on the palate with dark chocolate, orange gelée, raspberry coulis, toasted pecans, and rum-raisin. Add a splash of water to unlock a trove of complex flavors.
