2022 bottling Aroma: Fruity, with notes of plums, cinnamon spice, and a subtle hint of young grain. Taste: Abundant spice, vegetal character, honey, and cinnamon spice. The tannins are noticeable. A long finish with further spice. It's complex, enjoyable, and very easy to drink, though the dryness and youthful grain notes are minor drawbacks. Despite these points, it's a tasty offering from this source.

The aromas are rich with stone fruit, oak, vanilla, caramel, and some herbs. The flavors mirror the nose, are mildly sweet, and include a hint of butter. It's exceptionally smooth with some warmth in the finish. Very enjoyable.
A truly delightful spirit for sipping; much smoother than the version aged in cognac barrels.
Potent, with a satisfying intensity. Hints of maple, vanilla, and honey.
Spice notes of cinnamon and oak, with a hint of nuttiness.
