Nose- astringent on the nose with pit fruits, vanilla, and fruit punch Body- rich, thick mouth feel, very sherry forward, cherry, vanilla, and dark chocolate, the proof point is truly hard to believe, that astringency does not continue into the flavor Finish- incredibly smooth and easy drinking the fruity dark chocolate notes continue, fantastic! Note- If you enjoy bourbon and scotch, this tastes like Balvenie Doublewood had a love child with EHT. I love this!
