Drinking neat. The nose on this reminds me of the good dark part of a cinnamon coffee cake. I get spices and almost a buttery mix of cinnamon and brown sugar. It coats your mouth with a spiced sweetness that seamlessly moves to char. The proof shows with a nice warmth you feel on your lips and tongue but it’s smooth all the way. The finish is moderately long and the warm notes lighten up almost in a refreshing way. Oak definitely shows on the finish. Each sip greets you again with a fantastic nose.
