X-FACTOR

The judges remarked on the seamless integration of oak being a big and bold style but beautifully proportioned.

TASTING NOTE

Bright, pale bronze color. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of baked apple, dried fruits, ginger, and smoke with supporting notes of almonds, allspice, red cherry, and corn/maize. The palate is in substantial agreement with the nose delivering a dried fruits-driven core with flavors of almonds, rye, baked apple, and leather. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with a velvety texture.
