The challenging complexity revealed in both the nose and palate of the cocktail highlights Mr. Black’s diversity and versatility in upholding itself afloat amidst notoriously dominate and heavy flavors. Through the smoke, bitter coffee breaks free allowing caramel, butterscotch and vanilla to flood your palate. Lingering notes of honey, orange, and anise begin to diverge leaving an unexpected yet desirable creamy texture. The perfect amnestic from a penitent night.
