powerful floral and fruity aromas on the nose including cherry, very rich scents. Peanut flavoring, that gives way to oily hints of caramel and pecan with a little banana. Somewhat harsh finish but the heat doesn't stick around instead leaving a lasting oak flavor. There's more to this sip than I was able to identify and in the 2-3 sips I took to write this, I found each to be slightly different. Really nice bottle, in the upper echelon for me.
