8.4

Slumberhouse · 2012

Ore (2009)

8.1

Slumberhouse · 2009

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

A spicy, gourmand sweetness runs through it: cocoa and vanilla form a soft base, while Peru balsam deepens it with resinous warmth. Oak wood, mahogany and gaiac wood give it a woody, earthy, smoky frame, and whisky lactone balances the sweetness with a dry, boozy tone. Cretan dittany adds a spicy herbal touch to this heavy blend.

7.7
