Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Cocoa brown color; impeccably pure. The aromatics are vivid and intensely nut-like, with background scents of dried pear, toasted oak, and candied walnut. Flavor stage is accentuated with desirable tastes of roasted almond, brown sugar, and dark honey. Miles-long finish, in which the nut and dried pear aspects are dominant. A benchmark.
