Tasting Notes: A perennial hedonistic elixir, this opens with warmed cherry pie, kola nut and blackberry compote. Flavors of melted licorice and fudge fill the expansive mouthfeel where toasted marshmallow lingers on the long decadent finish. Compared to our other ‘23 releases, this one is showing beautifully on release and can be drunk early.
