    Strong pear with a background of red apple on the nose. Gentle, sweet, smooth flavor. White oak. Short finish - which I don't consider bad - allows it to go down easily.

    Nose is bourbon and alcohol. It has the sherry sweetness to it and dark fruit. Damn, the flavor, it's bourbon-strong! Too much for my tastes. It has light sherry overtones but still a strong alcohol burn in the finish. Rating is based on neat sipping.

    Maybe it's the lingering VW Bus exhaust in my shop that's affecting my nose but all I can smell is apple juice. That's not bad. Mild taste. Apple, faint vanilla caramel, and oak.

    Alcohol is too dominant on the nose, I can't get a bead on what else there is. There's pepper throughout but it's not dominating. Hint of light maple syrup. Not a bad drink but nothing special or memorable. Rating is based on neat sipping.

    Light smokey vanilla with baked apples, raisons and cloves aroma. Smells so good, like dessert! Flavor has the smoke and fine Cameroon cigar tobacco with smooth caramel and cloves.

    Nose: Definitely pear first, honey second, and a floral vanilla third. Sometimes it smells more like rootbeer. Palate: You can taste the oak. Neutral flavor, has sweetness but also pepperiness that lingers. This is one where reducing the time in your mouth returns a better flavor experience i.e. don't swish it around, just let it glide across your tongue and swallow.

    I don't know where all those tasting notes came from so we know I'm no expert! Definitely smoked peat but it's not overpowering. Smokey peat and sweet aroma. Sweet peaty flavor that's not strong; would make a good intro for those who want to try the flavor without going too strong with Laphroaig. I can find some subtle notes of pear in it.

    Ron Abuelo XV Napoleon Cognac Cask Finish Light aroma of dark maple syrup & vanilla. Flavor: Sweet without being overpowering. Orangey citrus with a hint of butterscotch. I gotta find the Tawny or Sherry cask version, it's bound to be great. Rating is based on neat sipping.

    Aroma: The maple syrup aroma is so strong that I was tempted to pour it on some pancakes! Some vanilla is there as well. Taste: While it has a sweetness it's not overpowering. Flavors of vanilla up front & then orange in the shadows. This is GREAT as a sipper (room temp or cooler) or in cola where you don't want a dominating in-your-face rum flavor. There is minor burn at the tip of the tongue but not enough to give your wife an "akk!" face. This does go well with a cigar of any strength! Rating is based on neat sipping.
