Amber color. Aromas and flavors of cracked pepper, fennel, cola, almond biscotti, and cinnamon-sugar toast with a velvety, vibrant, fruity medium body and a warming, complex, long finish that shows notes of honey-roasted pecans, candied orange peel, maple, and plump dried fruits. Precise and focused aromas lead to an undulating, honeyed palate; an excellent dram.
