Description

The nose is a vermilion storm cloud, echoing an ominous rumble of red velvet cake, hazelnut and brandied chocolate cherry. It looms in the glass, pulsating crimson lightning, each strike illuminates the cloud with baked brown sugar, galvanic bursts of sweetened chai, a nimbus of raspberry infused honey and cara cara marmalade.

The landing is like a diving loon. Chaos above, calm below, it glides unperturbed across the palate, leaving toasted caramel in its wake and a dusting of ruby chocolate over creamy mocha. The maelstrom above displays sweet secondary earth tones, reverberating mint, camellia sinensis and vanilla glacé. All the while, our Hell Diver navigates the undercurrents, a spiral of strawberry conserva, canela-coated Brazil nuts and a twining of toffee.

The finish approaches. The bird breaches. The storm crescendos as its nutmeg, white tea and French wafer coalesce. A final flush of red comice pear flashes bright before its silken descent into an everlasting swirl of maple, walnut and cocoa powder.
