Description
Plump summer fruits and a bouquet of flowers found themselves in the cedar-clad realm of a cigar humidor, joined by chocolates and ginger. The palate echoed the nose, with added creamy tones of toffee, glazed strawberry tarts, almond paste and liquorice root. Water introduced chocolate-coated marzipan dipped in plum jam, along with a delicate menthol on the nose. The finish was creamier still, where vanilla paste mingled with pine resin and Scotch ale. After nine years in an ex-bourbon barrel, we transferred this to a first fill heavily toasted, medium charred barrel for the remainder of its maturation.
