Well, I'm progressing through bottle #3 of this gem, so might as well throw down a taste. Mildly spicy 4R nose is prevalent to offset the caramelized sweetness - vanilla is notably present...inviting, even with the apparent heat. Mild char notes. Flavor is a gem - a nice, pleasant nose evolves into a gem on the palate. Sweet up front with loads of vanilla and creme brulee...hints of butterscotch - moves into a more spicy, woodsy, oaky flavor mid sip. Very full mouthfeel. Lasting flavor is incredibly smooth and the proofing seems damn near perfect - water doesn't hurt, but is not needed - this is a great pour to enjoy neat. This has been one of the best pours I've had in the past couple years...
