Sweet and harmonious layers of toffee, honey-spiced orange, banana, chocolate-covered graham cracker, cinnamon, black pepper, and roasted nuts deliver juicy depth without excessive dryness.
Long, warm, and chewy with lingering white pepper spice, dry oak, barrel char, cured tobacco, bitter chocolate, and subtle fruit echoes.
