Neat. Nose is rich molasses, dried fruit, wood, touch of phenols baking spices, and vanilla. Taste is true to nose. Starts with molasses/dark brown sugar sweetness. Dark, dried fruitiness, then some nice wood notes of oak, vanilla, slight dessert spices, a little tobacco, nuttiness, and hogo for interest.. It becomes more sweet, but more toward saccharine, which lasts through the dry finish along with some wood tannins, and a touch of pepper and hot cinnamon. Complex, but balanced and nothing offensive. Sweet, but finishes dry. Give it plenty of air time as it gets more complex as it sits in the glass. Great sipper that I'll keep around.
