Alcohol: 47.3%
Light dark amber color. Aromas and flavors of honey and lemon Ricola cough drop, vanilla cream, cherry nougat, dark chocolate candy, kettle corn with nuts, and baking spices, and well worn leather car seats with a round, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, huge, very long finish revealing overtones of red cherry, milk chocolate, smoky leather and roasted curry paste, and dry rub on wood smoked brisket burnt ends. Quite the aromatic and flavor journey to be found within your glass: sweet, fruity, savory, earthy, rancio; liquid history.
