Tastes

Nose - Honey, powdered sugar, and a marshmallow like vanilla. Some light grape-like notes are a hint as well. A touch of sweet cinnamon. Palate - Sweet up front, similar to honey and brown sugar. Middle palate leans to baking spices and ends with a cinnamon roll that has a little bit of peanut butter on it. Finish - Lasting with a sweet oak, cinnamon and slight nuttiness.

A1 Wine & Spirits Store Pick Barrel # 17510 120.7 Proof Some light vanilla and caramel that quickly goes to lumber (think walking into that part of a big hardware store) and some non-peanut nutshell. Maybe a hint of walnut. Grainy. Flavor starts off like sweet honey and slight caramel. Goes quickly to heat and spice. Cinnamon and hot clove with major tingle on the mid-palate. Fades to oak and some walnut at the back palate. Finish is drying. Oak (think hardware store, not fresh cut) and walnut.

Nose is cinnamon candy (red hots / hot tamales), slight leather and maybe a whiff of peanut shell type nuttiness. Flavor is cinnamon rock candy (not as sharp as the nose implied) with peanuts and some brown sugar. Finish reminds me of candied pecans (cinnamon, sugar and nuttiness).
