Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-brown with mahogany hues and a near-obsidian depth.
Nose
Opulent and bold, the nose opens with burnt caramel, vanilla and toasted oak, weaving with dark fruit—prune, fig, blackberry—and barrel-spice, cinnamon and clove, plus cocoa and espresso. Subtle smoke and graphite from the Black Noise finish lift the aroma, ending in plush warmth and resinous oak.
Palate
Powerful, full-bodied and warming, this cask-strength pour coats the palate with a spicy-sweet storm. Rich dark fruit—cherry, fig—meets cocoa, caramel and vanilla, layered over toasted oak from the Brandy finish. Cinnamon and black pepper bloom, tempered by a velvety, syrupy texture. Long, espresso-kissed finish with a smoky touch and hints of brandy-soaked sweetness.
Finish
Long, warming finish that clings with brandy-brushed sweetness and toasted oak. Dark fruit, vanilla, and spice unfold, slowly fading into chocolatey oak and a velvety, lingering warmth.
