Flavor Profile
The nose on this one is bold and savory, with dominant hints of smoke mingled with earthy undertones of walnuts, and hazelnut with a warm buttery mouthfeel. On the palate, you'll find subtle hints of honey, rye, and spices. The finish is strong and bold with a delicate nuisance of chocolatey espresso, honey, and spice.
