Tasting Notes
"The nose is like a hot, spiced bourbon toddy, with pleasant notes of citrus peel and mulling spices, though quite a bit of alcohol comes through. An earthy note of black tea adds to the same array of flavors on the palate as on the nose, with hints of stewed fruit and subtle herbaceousness. The finish is a bit abrupt and rather spicy and hot. "
