Flavor Journey
-
First third: Soft cedar and baking spices backed by creamy sweetness. Early pepper flowers on retro, but never overwhelms.
-
Mid-smoke: Earth deepens; dark chocolate, oak, black cherry, and warm spice round out the core.
-
Final third: Pepper and earth drive forward, while nutmeg, cinnamon, and a gentle creaminess lead to a satisfying finish.
