First of all, beautiful color. Good legs, sticks to the glass Nose: very sweet. For 131 proof, incredible. No alcohol at all. Palate: maple sugar candy, a little oak towards the finish. Drinks like a lower proof Finish: oaky, picks up heat and leaves the tongue tingling for a little while After adding a small ice cube, there is some tobacco on the nose and palate. As expected, the taste is mellowed out. Still quite enjoyable.
