Cupper's Notes
The first sip reveals a luscious butterscotch sweetness that gently coats the palate, reminiscent of creamy, caramelized sugar. As the flavors develop, the charming essence of caramel corn emerges, adding a delightful warmth to the palate, with subtle hints of toasted popcorn and vanilla. The finish is elegantly rounded, with nutty undertones of hazelnuts.
