Final Thoughts
This expression highlights additional maturity, offering more depth and rounded complexity. The nose opens with toffee, dried apricot, warm spice, and hints of leather. The palate develops into waves of honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, cocoa powder, and oak tannin with a creamy texture. Its balance of spice and sweetness makes it versatile yet elevated. The finish is smooth and lingering with caramel, toasted almond, and herbal spice. Excellent neat, it also works in elevated whiskey cocktails. Food pairings include roast duck, bread pudding, or aged Gouda.
