The aroma opens with an intense sweetness reminiscent of marshmallows, layered with caramel and chocolate. It’s totally confectionary, setting expectations of a dessert-like profile. On the palate, oak takes the lead, followed by intense caramel and vanilla along with salinity, pepperiness, and warming cinnamon. Notes of cherry, anise, and a subtle floral character are found, but an unmistakably doctored sweetness runs through the entire experience, becoming the backbone of the pour. The finish develops slowly, revealing a lingering saccharine sweetness alongside a dry floral note reminiscent of juniper. For me, the pronounced sweetness ultimately overshadows the spirit’s other qualities, specifically the French Oak barrel influence is amalgamated with other sweet flavors making it ‘just sweet’.
