Nose- Butterscotch bliss! Reminds me of those delicious gold candies. It is so in your face you do not need any other note. Taste- This is a spectacular caramel and vanilla bomb. Think liquid bullseyes. It is boozy, yet no ethanol showing throw. This is a bottle you could get in trouble with. Finish: If there is a flaw, here it is. Some rough edges quickly tempered by 4 drops in a 2 oz pour. Without water it is a bit strong. With water..... peanut butter! Overall: This is a quality sip. If you can get it, get it! Water fine tunes it. This competes with all of the big boy releases for me. Sleeper bottle here
