After having the basic Magnus I was torn on this bottle. My local shopkeep tempted me with his only allocated bottle so I thought I'd take another chance. Am leary of taking the leap to the Cigar Blend so the level of betterness here vs the standard will be make my decision. Nose is very soft on this one. Very light brown sugar and caramel. I want to say there is more going on here, but I just don't get much else on this one. Hoping the taste outweighs this. First sip starts with nice caramel notes. A cinnamon wave builds from there bringing a long warming finish. The start on this is just ok, but the finish leaves you wanting another sip. Overall, I am torn on how to rate this one. At the price and difficulty finding it seems like it should be spectacular. Is this one good? Yes. A straight forward classic flavor profile with a damn nice finish? Should you pay $120 for it that is your call. I can say it is good, but I think it should be an $80 bottle. I am not really sure I want to take the plunge on the Cigar Blend after this, but you never know when I might be presuaded.
