Finally opened this bottle. Quick impressions are Sweet cinnamon, and spicy on the nose. On the palate, this was warm, like hot cinnamon sirup, with some nutty notes with it. With a 61.9% ABV, water was my friend. For me, the water brought forward the vanilla, sugar, and oak notes that I was expecting to get from the start. The temperature is cooler and the finish is long, sweet vanilla. Still, I was expecting a little more sweetness, thus the 3.75 score.
