Color: Light honey brown.
Nose: Some kerosene and fuel oil notes on the nose. Slight sulfur on top of the sweet base. Slight clover honey. Marzipan and treacle. Water expands on the sulfury note. Vague scent of saltwater fen.
Mouth: Warming spice. Baking spice. Cinnamon and brown sugar. Allspice and cloves. Short sweet finish. Tastes rye heavy. Water brings out tobacco notes.
Conclusion: Not for me as a sipper. Likely to make a fantastic cocktail or two. Moderate complexity.
Cocktails: Tried in a mint julep. Not bad.
