Nose: Rich notes of butterscotch, caramel, and marshmallows dominate initially. Over tmae, hints of unsalted peanuts and cold brewed coffee add depth and complexity.
Taste: Medium-bodied, balanced, and well-rounded. Fruity with a tempered spicy backbone, offering sweetness without being overly so. The flavor of cold brewed sweet coffee complements the profile.
Finish: Medium to short, echoing the main flavors. Gradually transitions into Willy Wonka territory with fun notes of caramel swirls and milk chocolate.
Comment: Enjoyable.
