Tons of spice and ethanol in the nose making it not pleasant. The taste has vanilla, some char and lots of spice with the alcohol taste still there. The finish is short lived and the spice continues through. Im surprised and really feel like I’m missing something since so many people enjoy this bottle for the price. I’d rather spend the extra few bucks and upgrade altogether. I’m not a fan and wouldn’t have a desire to drink this again. Just wasn’t my type of pour.
