Virgil Kaine Eighth Notch Barrel Proof Finished in Vanilla Smoked Toasted Barrels, 58.4%

Gooey caramel, barrel char, mulled wine, cherry-dipped soft serve, and brown sugar cookies on the nose. With water, pine cones, lemon sorbet, and tobacco leaf emerge. It is highly aromatic and alluring. The palate is chewy and viscous, with notes of chocolate chip granola bar, cinnamon toast, Raisinets, dried leaves, and dark roast coffee. Spice driven and ashy with notes of Ferrero Rocher on a lengthy finish. Lovely smoke integration throughout.
