Deep Reddish Amber Nose: Maple soaked Cherries floating in a cinnamon syrup Palate: Dark pitted fruits, more maple and subtle, well done char. White Pepper comes in late to the party and somewhat crashes it. Finish - Med short finish a bit of char and pepper but well done char and pepper. Overall - there isnt a much better sip for the price. Great flavor filled 10 year old BT product for under 50 bucks. Hard to beat.
