Tastes

Smell- banana candy First sip, sweet, caramel, bananas foster Second sip, hit with a wham of smokiness and chestnut, that disappeared quickly (and that smoky hit didn't return on subsequent sips) 3rd sips onward- sweet and smooth with a great mouthfeel and a woody finish. Overall I really enjoy this. Not sure it's quite worth the price point ($74 in Pa), but I would definitely drink again Edit: adding subsequent tastes 2 months later. This is seriously a damn fine pour. I have enjoyed this more each time I taste it. It is smooth,oily and rich. All if the finishing adds a lot of character that improves over time.

Wow. found this for $60 in a little shop in Maryland and it was a great buy. The Madeira adds Rich fruity notes which are a nice counter to the high spice and vanilla tones. It has a good body, and long finish. I would keep this on my shelf in my regular rotation.

This is a darn fine sip. Light nondescript sweet aromas lead to a surprisingly Full mouth feel, almost heavy. Buttery smooth, with almost no burn at all. Rich with caramel, honey, vanilla and a small hit of spice on the finish. Absolutely would buy this again.

spicy, but complex and amazing. tour taste + bought a bottle! Update 3 years later: finishing the bottle and we still love it. The caribbean rum adds so much flavor and complexity to this. It smooths out the spikes of a traditional rye and makes it very approachable.
