The aroma enters with potent honey and caramel, intertwined with bourbon/whiskey and a cooked agave raisin note. Fresh cut oak and roasted almond add depth, with a nearly indiscernible ethyl note, molasses, and a hint of spice rounding out the profile. On the palate, tropical fruit and red apple come forward, followed by black pepper and wood/oak notes. Brine and honey add complexity, while watery bourbon and roasted almond provide a nuanced sweetness. Orange citrus, caramel, clove and baking spice contribute to the overall harmony, with a touch of light-cooked sweet potato adding an earthy undertone. The finish is characterized by distinct fading brine, oak, and dried fig. A minuscule brine note lingers alongside dried red apple, subtle whiskey essence, and black tea creating a satisfying conclusion.
