Hirsch The Single Barrel Double Oak (GLD23028), 64%

Lots of dried herbs and some baking spice on the nose, milk chocolate and chocolate cake, and brown sugar as it settles down to become softer. Sweetness of black cherry soda and more chocolate on the palate. A big one that’s a bit hot, but it eases nicely with water, bringing notes of warm chocolate brownies. Long and spiced on the finish, with marshmallow and chocolate.
