Tasting Notes

Bold and complex from the first draw. You’ll pick up rich espresso and dark cocoa early on, followed by waves of black pepper and leather. There’s an earthy backbone throughout, with just enough natural sweetness to keep it balanced. The finish is long, spicy, and satisfying, the kind that lingers for all the right reasons.
