Tasting Profile:
Neat
Appearance: Maroon, with tones ranging from rust to baker’s chocolate.
Nose: Pungent vanilla bean emerges first, woven with goldenrod as you approach the glass. The aroma evolves from dark brown sugar to woodsy sugarcane, preserving the original grain character. Advanced aging introduces notes of tres leches cake, granola, and macadamia nut, with herbal hints of sage, tonka bean, and menthol, rounded out by plump raisins and fig newtons.
Palate: Enjoy the balance of biscuit-y and sweet flavors with s’mores, amaretti, and oatmeal raisin cookie. A spiciness unfolds with notes of crystallized ginger, peppermint, and black peppercorn, while oak tannins provide a rich, chewy body. The palate features a humus layer of gentian root, sesame seeds, and apple peels.
Finish: Fresh ginger, fennel seed, and cardamom rush through the exhale, leaving a pronounced bitterness reminiscent of cocoa powder and grapefruit peel. Gradually, a gentle sweet vermouth takes over, later joined by a grainy signature of skillet cornbread.
With a Few Drops of Spring Water
Everything becomes coated in gooey chocolate ganache. Various forms of coconut—macaroon, oil, and water—shine through. Demerara rum takes over the palate, complemented by nutmeg and lime zest. The finish simplifies into notes of apricot and cherry eaux-de-vie.
