Patoro

By Benjamin Charles Brown

A dusty-wrapper Dominican XO that opens musty and mild with savory red pepper, cinnamon, and cedar before a final third of cream, butter, and almond. Uneven burn and low smoke density suggest drier conditioning, but the late almond-butter character hints at real aging potential.
