Aroma was bold and really nice. Coconut, vanilla and even almonds. As it opens a touch of cinnamon. Flavor is creamy vanilla. A touch of toasted grain. Few drops of water kills the Aroma and brings out a touch more spice. Not sure I'd add water again here. (starting at 89 proof so makes sense) Later in the glass the almond returns in the palate. Finish is mostly just lingering bitterness
