Nose: Generous notes of plum and fig marmalade rounded out by intense oaky notes of toffee and toasted bread Taste: Mellowness of butterscotch, baked spices, with hints of dark chocolate Body: Exceptionally rounded with a creamy aftertaste
Rich and spicy aromas of dried figs, cinnamon, and spice cake. The flavor is dry and spiced with a grainy texture and lots of woodsy flavor. Herbs and dried fruit flavors emerge toward the end and deep spice resonates throughout.The label on this light caramel-brown liquid says it’s blended "for aromatic intensity.” Mission accomplished: The aromas are indeed intense, with sweet, high bursts of burnt caramel and orange peel, opening up to a slightly chocolaty fragrance. On the tongue, this one is a big, solid block of flavor, with lots of caramel from start to finish, adding some coffee and dark chocolate notes at the end. Despite the big-brute flavor, it has a mellow finish. — K.N.
