Tasting Notes: The nose opens with cherry candies, Smarties, cinnamon butter, and honey, finished with a dusting of nutmeg. It continues into deeper territory with plenty of leather and a warm almond paste note.

The palate is explosive – cherry hard candies and bursts of orange zest hit first, followed by rich, layered oak. Theres a playful contrast of sweet and zesty, almost reminiscent of strawberry vinaigrette. The mid-palate turns decadent, with candy bar notes ranging from nougat to chocolate, peanuts, and caramel – all leading into a honeyed, elegantly spiced linger.

The finish is long and chewy – starting bright with orange zest, maraschino cherry, dried pineapple, oak, and black pepper, then easing into a smooth fade of caramel and chocolate pudding pop.
