HOW TO SERVE
Depth and breadth of flavors lend this highly sippable example of the category to being enjoyed neat, over a large rock, or in a Manhattan-style cocktail.
X-FACTOR
We loved the depth of flavors and complexity. In post-judging analysis we love the value for money.
TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, deep tawny/amber color. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of anise, black plum, candied ginger, and charred oak with supporting notes of blanched almonds, stone fruit, vanilla bean, and rye. The palate is in full accord with the nose delivering a toffee-driven core with flavors akin to caramel, grains, clove, and fig. The finish is long. Medium to full-bodied and flawlessly balanced with a velvety texture.
