nose- Soft and creamy vanilla, not as much barrel as I expected for age. Taste- Easy start with Rich caramel and vanilla candy, sugary sweetness, that quickly moves into leather and almost tobacco notes. Char and bits of smoke very lightly. Incredibly rich and you get a lot out of really working it in your mouth. Finish- lingered forever. It builds and stays sweet with lots of leathery tobacco type notes rich and powerful. A great pour
