Smells of caramel apple, brown sugar, wood. Tastes pecan pie, smoky sweet wood. Caramel apple, cinnamon/pepper. A bit of peanut. Finishes of sweet wood, like a light candied cigar, the wood shines through on this. Just enough proof to keep the flavors lingering for quite awhile. Overall one of the best values I've had. @$35. Super complex, great balance all around. My comp would be somewhere in between Elisha Craig small batch, and George Remus. Worth every penny!
