Spirit Reviews

Caramel sweetness on nose and palate lead into bold toffee and oak, finishing long with a sweet of espresso. Black pepper, clove and dusty cocoa powder frame the exit

Look for a notably deep amber hue and caramel aroma. The lively palate opens with caramel, spice, cocoa and plenty of oomph, finishing gracefully and long with ribbons of cocoa and vanilla intertwined with nutmeg and allspice sparks.

Look for a nut-brown hue and aromas that mingle allspice, caramel and a subtle earthy tone. The palate has an almost amaro-like quality at first sip, showing roots and bark, leather, clove and black pepper, with a hint of toffee in the background. The complex, drying finish offers oak, cigar wrapper and walnut

Cinnamon, cardamom and a hint of red fruit create a lightly spiced aroma. The palate echoes the sweetness and spice, framed by red fruit, plum and plum skin, and blackcurrant, finishing slightly sticky with a hint of espresso. Faint menthol refreshes the exhale. A good workhorse for cocktail mixing.

The plush palate opens with a burst of dark fruit—plum, dried fig and date, black cherry—leading into hints of espresso and vanilla. Clove and cinnamon bark warm the long, tingly finish. Consider as a dessert sipper.
