On the nose I get huge smoky caramel notes, and you guessed it, sweet tobacco. The proof is deceptive because I get very little hints of alcohol. On the palate it has a lot of mouth feel with soft mouth coating vanilla, but also rich barrel notes and spice. I initially get super sweet vanilla ice cream, then it is joined by a building cinnamon and char wave that lingers for a long enjoyable finish and tasty aftertaste. I think this would pair nicely with a cigar.
