Tasting Notes: Vanilla frosting, torched sugar and orange zest fill the nose. There's a subtle note of stewed apples and almond butter. The palate is blast of molasses, white pepper, smoked bacon jam and dried mango. The flavor keeps expanding as it develops in the glass. This ultimately leads back to a long finish of toasted oak staves and honeysuckle.
