Nose: Caramel and vanilla forward. Subtle banana and oak are overpowered by the first two scents. Palate: Strong maple sugar and caramel right off the sip. A very sweet sip, which makes it difficult to pull out the subtle banana and toasty oak flavors in the background. Finish: Spicy and warm finish which lingers on to flavors of burnt oak and caramel. Despite the initial heat, it is a very long and pleasant finish. Thoughts: At $30~ a bottle, it’s a solid pour. Would buy again!
