I will echo what others have said (including the Distiller notes). Drinkable on its own, over soda or in a cocktail. Golden brown in color with a viscous consistency. Butterscotch candies, caramel, toasted nuts, mint, holiday fruitcake. Viscous entry bursting with candy sweetness that is well balanced with bitter herbs (bit of quinine, thyme, and peppermint). The finish is definitely on the orange zest and bitter pith side without much lingering sweetness. Easily one of the more interesting sweet vermouths out there. Works wonderfully in a number of bourbon and rye whiskey cocktails. Over ice and club soda with a slice of orange there are a lot of cola and balsamic notes that come out and the bitterness is muted substantially, but still balanced.
