Rich fruit cake, caramel, dried tropical fruit, aged oak, dark honey, leather, and a deep, complex mature character

Luxurious with fruit cake, caramel, dried fig, dark chocolate, aged oak, tobacco, and an extraordinarily velvety, viscous texture
Finish
Very long with fruit cake, caramel, oak, and a dignified, warming close that evolves for minutes
