Nose: rich and thick. Some vanilla and spice, but nothing overpowering. Palette: some wood notes and a pleasant and sustained bitterness. The word that comes to mind is “wide”… it just feels very oily and rich. Definitely spicy to rival some Ryes. Finish: really great long and consistent finish. Same wood and dark fruit notes (maybe)… it taste like the difference between a bright red maraschino cherry and a luxardo cherry… just more subtle, bitter and full.
