Sweet oak and spice turn into spiced baked bread on the nose. Palate starts out vanilla graham crackers with sprinkled cinnamon and quickly turns to the hard root beer candies. Finish lasts longer then you'd expect but nothing memorable. Dry and tart oak tannins ride through out the finish. For a 90 proof with a screw cap the nose is good and the palate is surprisingly more complex then one would expect. The finish was the least enjoyable part of this dram for me.
