This has to be one of the better sippers on the market. Incredibly smooth and dangerously hard to put down. The perfect blend of sweet and spicy. This is the one bottle my wife and I always agree on. Nose is sweet and fragrant. First sip gives a little bite, but this dram definitely evens out as you return to the glass. If this were a hard candy, you'd definitely chew into it prematurely; it's that good. And of course the finish coats like a hot toddy on a cold, winter night. Buy this one, and don't tell your friends; you'll want it all for yourself.
