Tasting Notes:

Nose: Fairly restrained with minimal alcohol. Toasty at first with cornbread and dry oak notes,then gives way to some dark fruits and a bit of spice cabinet.

Palate:Explosion of sweet and juicy fruits: dark cherry, pulpy orange, tinned pears, and applesauce. Some caramel sauce and a healthy amount of spice in the mix, mostly cinnamon with a bit of clove, and an even, but not insignificant, heat warms the back of the throat from the first sip to the generous, fruit cocktail finish.
