Tasting Notes

Color: Copper

Nose: A lovely delicate sweetness with notes of warm oak, strawberry jam filling, sponge cake, wax candy lips and candy
necklaces

Palate: Malty to begin but then toasted hazelnuts, Licorice All-Sorts, and freshly ground coffee beans give way to a pleasantly drying oak and the faintest suggestion of pickled walnuts

Finish: Decent length with returning maltiness, cocoa nibs,
hazelnut skins, and lingering drying oak
