In the aroma, the presence of oak is pronounced, accompanied by notes of molasses, roasted nuts, and a distinct alcohol/ethyl sting in the nostrils. Subtle undertones of vanilla, butterscotch, yeast funk, and earthiness add depth to the olfactory experience. Upon tasting, the palate is enveloped by flavors of oak, caramel, and honey, with hints of orange citrus, whiskey, and barrel spice. The addition of candied yam contributes to the overall concentration of flavors, while a creamy body and acidity provide a luxurious mouthfeel. A toasted flavor profile is complemented by intermittent wafts of alcohol. The finish has a lingering sweetness reminiscent of honey and citrus, accompanied by a subtle peppery sensation that enhances the overall palate experience. Despite its presence, the pepperiness is not overwhelming, allowing the sweetness to persist gently on the palate.
