Color: Burnt Amber Nose: Alchohol, solvent, green apple, banana, honey Adding water brings out more honey on the nose. Taste: Peppery, sherry, nutty, oily on the palette. Adding water brings out more bitterness and spiciness. Finish: Pepper, honey, and nutty. Finish is short, but of good substance and flavor This was my second tasting from the same bottle. I gave it a lower score this time. Definitely a different taste compared to the first time. It will be interesting to see how it develops over time.
