Vanilla on the nose, no hint of ethanol or corn. Maybe a whisper of caramel, but a decent helping of fruit. The scent is somewhat forgetable. On the palate, thin and completely lacking in oil or viscosity. The mid to back-end is spicy, black or green peppercorn, which is tough to miss. No heat to it either. Not bad, but I'm not sure I'll replace the bottle when empty.
