Punch Punch

The Punch Punch opens with a medium to full-bodied profile, featuring notes of toasted cedar, rich espresso, and vibrant black pepper that establish a robust and complex foundation. The retrohale delivers lively black pepper spice accented by leather, cocoa, and subtle earthiness, adding depth and intrigue. In the second third, flavors of caramelized brown sugar, roasted nuts, and hints of cinnamon develop, enhancing the creamy texture and layered complexity. The final third concludes with notes of bittersweet dark chocolate, espresso crema, and a lingering toasted oak finish, delivering a powerful and satisfying finale.
