Tasting Notes: The aroma is surprisingly sweet, with brown sugar, apple butter, vanilla syrup, and candied raisin up front. The sip brings rich brown sugar, more defined candied raisin, and caramel chews accented by an undercurrent of baking spices. Peppery seasoned oak picks up during the transition from palate to finish, which gives way to clove, leather, and a hint of apricot. The finish is long, with warm lingering spice atop a tapering sweet base.
