Nose: neat: ethanol (on ice) Carmel and vanilla Palate: vanilla, tobacco, Carmel and red hots on the finish. I really love that cinnamon red hot finish on this one. Overall: it’s great. I got one as a gift and the other from a friend who purchased it for me. I really dig this dram. It’s a damn fine pour either neat or on an ice ball. I will say the ice ball open this bad boy up and Carmela and brown sugar cinnamon with through the roof. Definitely worth grabbing one.
