X-FACTOR
The judges loved how the complex flavors were seamlessly woven into one unified spirit.
TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, deep mahogany color. The nose is subtle, offering scents of toffee, dried fruits, earth, cedar, and chocolate with supporting notes of butterscotch, smoked meat, and chocolate. The palate substantially agrees with the nose delivering an oak-driven core with flavors akin to toffee, banana bread, and ginger. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and pleasingly balanced with a meaty texture.
