Official tasting notes.
Nose: Beautiful soft sweet cereal notes meet butter menthol and chewy, thick, oozing caramels. Hints of sweet vanilla with flashes of very subtle saltiness.
Palate: Intense butter menthol upfront with an earthy, savory, camp fire smokiness hitting the mid palate with sweet vanilla and brown sugar syrups finishing with a slight creaminess akin to a Portuguese tart.
Finish: Beautifully long and savory
