Tried neat. On the nares it’s very fruity with notes of apples, cherries, vanilla, oak, toast, toasted marshmallows, caramel, pecan pie, pecan pralines, white pepper, creme Brûlée, brown sugar mixed with butter straight out of the microwave, slight Himalayan salt. Super smooth on the palate with a warm kick on the back end. Delicious! Perfect bottle to crack open before thanksgiving dinner with @Looneyhead Also, I over paid because I REALLY wanted this bottle F it 🤣
