Way more ethanol on the nose than you’d think for an 80 proof. Same on the palate. Simple. Vanilla, oak, ethanol. The finish is slightly unpleasant. It has an odd flavor that tastes synthetic. It’s like vanilla frosting that is very sweet and has been left out of the fridge for about a day. If you want to feel like you’re getting more drunk than you actually are, drink this. Or if you want a headache. Otherwise, stay away.
