Aroma: “Rich toffee malt with a umami, Parmesan cheese note dosed up with sweet fruit (dried plums, currants, and figs).”

Flavor: “Toffee-like, rich and chewy, with an almost buttery character. Comes across a bit thick, but not overly cloying on balance. Finish is relatively dry and has a noticeable alcoholic heat without being harsh or burning. Barrel character isn’t particularly distinctive, but it smooths out the complex flavors to give them a more refined character.”

Overall: “Rich, smooth, and sneaky. Tons of complexity throughout. Dangerous. So bring us some figgy pudding, and bring it right now!”
