Tasting Notes
"The nose offers vanilla and polish, with oatmeal raisin cookies, unbaked dough, oak, and brown sugar. The palate is big and rich, with plenty more vanilla, along with brandied cherries and a touch of zesty orange peel. A lengthy finish hits with some heat up front, showcasing menthol, tannic oak, cedar, barrel char, cinnamon, and still more vanilla."
