Tasting Notes: The nose opens with inviting aromas of dried fruit, toasted oak, and subtle hints of dark chocolate, along with a touch of Madeira wine sweetness. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and rich, with flavors of caramel, honey, and fig, complemented by layers of spice, such as cinnamon and clove. The Madeira influence adds a sweet, fruity layer that mingles beautifully with the bourbon’s oaky backbone.
