Final Thoughts
One of the most recent and impressive batches, Batch 18 combines richness with clarity of flavor. The nose is vibrant with caramel, dark berries, honey, and seasoned oak. On the palate, sweet notes of vanilla, toffee, and cherry meet robust spice, leather, and cocoa in seamless layers. The finish is long, structured, and elegant, leaving oak, cinnamon, and dark chocolate resonating on the tongue. Despite its proof, it drinks with surprising balance when given time to open in the glass. Best neat or with a drop of water, it pairs perfectly with prime rib, tiramisu, or spiced pecan clusters. A modern classic within the series.
