Extra-virgin oak is at the heart of this special edition, meaning the wood hasn't been exhausted of its potential to contribute caramel and spice. It follows through: Look for a bright topaz hue and inviting, concentrated caramel aromas. The palate layers that with inviting tropical fruit and just a hint of campfire smoke, resulting in caramelized pineapple, burnt orange peel, dried fig and toasted coconut, finishing long with black pepper sting.

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
