HOW TO SERVE
Versatile — ideal neat with just a splash of water or over one large cube of ice. Great in a classic, stirred cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned that focuses on this spirit.
X-FACTOR
Judges remarked that the high proof is perfectly integrated with the rich flavors and the appealing toasted coconut accent.
TASTING NOTE
Bright, medium copper color. The nose is subtle, offering scents of dried fruits, butterscotch, toasted coconut, and black plum with supporting notes of corn/maize, gingerbread, and caramel. The palate substantially agrees with the nose delivering a caramel-driven core with flavors of allspice, roasted pineapple, cashew butter, crème brulee, and toffee. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and pleasingly balanced with a voluptuous texture.
