The first sip is incredibly earthy and tastes like green tea machia powder mixed with vanilla. Instant heat but not overly so. Very Willet like profile. Second sip blasts grassy notes, all-spice, and huge bursts of cinnamon. It has that Willet 'funk' that I really am growing to like in small end of night sips. The finish is more spice and pungent oak. I think this works best as does Noah's Mill as a third or fourth pour to gently sip at the end of the night. I'd guess this isn't for everyone but if you like earthy and pungent flavors it's a nice bottle for under 30🦌.
