Product Highlights

Burnt sienna color. On the nose, crème brûlée, coconut oil and chocolate pudding invoke the creamy richness of toasted American oak. Tarragon, nutmeg and warm cola are among the dry, extractive spices highlighting the French oak. Mizunara’s incense and grilled pineapple notes, meanwhile, take the profile in a totally different direction.
​On the palate, sweet and oily with a pronounced espresso note. It’s pleasantly rich on the tongue, which obscures much of the tannin – surprising given how much wood is present.

The French oak’s robust spice notes inflect a maple syrup sweetness. On the finish, green grapes and red plums burst above the barrel notes for the first time. It’s spicy, too, with za’atar, crystallized ginger and Szechuan peppercorns.
