On the nose, rich caramel, vanilla. On the palate I’m getting a toffee/caramel mixture on the tongue, sweetness almost immediately on the first sip and then that nice burn, similar to a Buffalo trace in terms of sweetness but not too heavy, just enough balance. Gives off a nice coating on the palate as well where you really taste the vanilla and a great alcohol heat, not harsh, longer finish than I expected. Definitely pleased with this bottle! Easy to drink, smooth, great flavour. I would buy this bottle again in a heart beat, must have in my reserve. Absolutely love it !
