Tasting Notes
"Despite the recent reduction in proof, the flavor profile is still intact. The aroma is that of flat vanilla coke with just the slightest hint of char smoke. The mid-palate is full of apple and cherry skins and while the finish lasts about the as long as it takes to blink an eye, it is pleasant while it lasts."
