The nose is a mix of freshly picked green apples, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and toasted oak. … A large ice cube tames some of the heat to draw out the richer flavors, tartness and fruit.
Intense stone fruit, custard, and sweet corn notes dominate the palate, whilst caramel, peach, and fig develop on the nose. Spicy, warm, and well-balanced, with solid oak framing on the finish.
An earthy character showing subtle peppery notes with some caramel and fresh vanilla. Long oaky finish.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
