This foundation may be layered with surprising nuances like a blend of white chocolate and tart sour apples, sometimes accompanied by a subtle hint of higher ethanol.
- Flavor: The palate offers a robust and textured experience, often showcasing hints of warm, charred cinnamon. The flavor profile can evolve to reveal unexpected notes of sweet pumpkin and earthy chestnuts. You might also encounter a smooth and creamy texture reminiscent of cookie dough, with a touch of the richness of cheesecake.
