Milam & Greene Small Batch Finished With Charred French Oak Staves (Batch No. 1.2), 54%

A sugary sweet nose bursts with vanilla frosting, creme brûlée, pound cake, powdered doughnut, Cinnamon Roll Toaster Strudel, and strawberries and cream. On the palate there’s a new dimension, thanks to warming campfire char that evokes toasted marshmallow, dark chocolate, Cubano coffee, and more torched sugar. That charred element lingers in the finish, joined by a smooth, creamy vanilla latte; it’s a delicious ride from beginning to end.
