Vanilla, pine and hearty oak on the nose (for obvious reasons). Underlying floral aromas and cinnamon. Rich oily mouthfeel, some spice and oak on the palate but quite understated & smooth at this point. Some burn early on the finish plus rye spiciness on the finish which sticks around for a bit but doesn't overstay it's welcome. Nicely balanced with the rye kick on the back end. Picked this up in Louisville and have had it open for a bit before realizing how special this bottle is through research for this taste.
