Rampur Asava, 45%

Matured in bourbon barrels, then finished in Indian cabernet sauvignon casks, the wine influence shows early on the nose with black cherry mousse, black currant, chocolate cigarillos, dried grasses, rolling tobacco, dried stone fruits, and peppercorns. It’s impressively moreish, mouth-filling, and rounded, with red fruits, melted chocolate, bramble, savory notes, peppercorn, and cassis. The dry finish brings dark fruit, spice, and chocolate. Utterly gorgeous.
