Understated nose, cinnamon, vanilla, eventually opens up with some lovely baking spice aroma. Some cherry on the palate but again, a very understated flavor profile. Incredibly rich, oily, smooth finish is where this shines... stays with you beyond the sip (in a good way) Editorial, this was one of the first impulse buys that I got and enjoyed, only to find it well reviewed on Distiller... spiked my interest in enjoying bourbon and ryes!
