Appearance: Rich copper, toffee esque almost caramel in color. Nice clarity. Aroma: sweet on the nose at first, then some oak and vanilla with maybe a bit of citrus coming through Palette: Spice early then quick transition to lingering sweetness, minimal burn for this proof, nice vanillas, butterscotch, and maybe a touch of lavender - increasingly smooth with a few drops of water. Nice finish with no lingering burn at all. Very nice pour! Maybe my favorite for the price point.
