Nose - Initially hit with dark pitted fruits, vanilla, dark chocolate covered almond english toffee, Werther's candies.
Taste - Initially hit with sweet dark, but dry bing cherries, toffee, vanilla, perfectly browned sugar on creme brulee, but without the cream. Hint of super dark slightly bitter dark chocolate and cocoa nibs.
Finish - As it goes down your throat, your tongue is left with an isntant hit of cinnamon spice from the higher proof. Very drying mouthfeel, again from the proof and a slighty oaky bitterness like that after you've eaten some slightly overtoasted cocoa nibs
