Nose: getting past the ethanol tickling my nose hairs is a nutty oaky vanilla Palate: this is one. proofy. gal. Heavy black pepper/ethanol, classic oak, vanilla, and a lot of brown sugar and a hint of baking spices. Mouthfeel: an astringent starchy snap of half ripe raw plantains, and the feeling in your gums before you take a drink of water after eating a mouthful of cashews. Thankfully the sweetness coated my mouth long after the mouthfeel was gone Finish: Classic delicious vanilla, brown sugar that lingers long before the next sip I think is an amazing value for $59, can’t think of anything that comes close to this at the same price point
