On the nose a wonderful mesquite smoke. Being from Texas reminds me of campfires and sitting around with friends. A little hint of sweetness and a little of a medicinal hint but not unpleasant. Wonderful nose that brings back great memories. On the pallet, the smoke comes through but not overpowering. Hard to believe the proof is 92%. Smooth but not boring. Would be great with a steak or brisket.
