Tasting Notes

Nose

There is a strong, sultry smell of cream and woody spice. There are rich notes of creme brulee, with fragrant tones of cigar box wood.

Palate

Theres a strong initial taste of spice, but it is balanced by a savory quality that diffuses the sharper edges. There are forward notes of gingerbread and aromatic wood. There is an underlying quality of molasses in the deep, almost syrupy quality of its savory dessert flavors. The finish feels like vanilla and cinnamon, infused with the quality of yeasty bread.
