N: once I get past the initial blast of ethanol, I get baked apple and caramel, with some spearmint and pine needles, bubblegum and old leather. After a bit, the ethanol almost becomes like a highland scotch peat.
P: light skinned fruit (pear and apple), caramel, baking spice (cinnamon, anise, molasses, brown sugar), oak
F: the finish, for me, is the most pleasing aspect of EW black label; it doesn’t offer a strong Kentucky hug by any means, but gives a pleasant bit of baked apple and pear, caramel, toasted oak, and some mint.
