Tasting Notes:

Rich amber color that leans towards mahogany. Sweet vanilla on the nose with a soft, almost wheat-like sweetness on the nose and a touch of mint. Rich molasses notes on the palate with a boldly sweet vanilla on the front of the palate. The finish shows a bit more dryness and a solid backbone of rich oak.
