Allspice, cloves and caramel form a perfect base on the nose. Light chocolate, almonds and pepper dance in. Palate is creamy molasses forward with a rich, ripe dark cherry. Anise and warm stewed herbs mix in late. Still very rich caramel and molasses all the way through it. A touch of old linen late in the glass on the nose. Citrus zest is layering in on the impressively long finish. This is the perfect proof point for this. A solid offering I will always have on hand!
