Tastes

Although not great, It was fairly unremarkable. I would say it’s a bit better than the other ratings. Nose was various fruits and vanilla. First touch on the tongue seemed to be missing something, like it was very watered down or had been on the rock and the ice melted an hour ago. The flavor kick in a second or two later. Sweet vanilla and fruit, combined with the char. It reminded me of growing up my family would grill half peaches over the fire. The sweet fruit fade to char, wood, and mild vanilla. The mild fruit flavors return to linger in the back of the mouth similar to a dry wine.

Tried this as it was an offering at the resort where I was staying. I was pleasantly surprised. Fairly smooth, sweet, vanilla and maple flavor. Some burn as the flavor moves to the back of the mouth, but melds in to black pepper sting. Oak and vanilla remain on the tongue. Not half bad for the price point.
