The nose starts off with dusty oak, leather, caramel, baking spices and hints of vanilla and mint. The palate is soft with pepper that opens up gradually, along with vanilla, caramel, rye spiciness, a touch of dark chocolate and the slightest bit of oak and mint. The finish is medium long with the rye lingering as the mint opens up a little bit, with oak, creme brûlée and caramel balancing everything out. Good complexity, but not overwhelming. Delicious.
