- Most will never have the opportunity to even taste this extremely sophisticated treat
- Complex aromas and taste:
- The aroma is that of complex oakiness and earthiness with a flare of cherries and chocolate

- The finish leaves a breathiness of hard liquor that fades quickly into a very pleasant, almost fruity aftertaste
