Overall: Its a solid drink that won't disappoint. The price point is competitive, and there are other options, but for my taste, at $45, I have a hard time not having a bottle around for special sips. However, I regularly see this at $60+ and at that price it wouldn't be the same. Nose: Black cherry, light bits of vanilla, a sweet syrupiness develops with some air. Palate: the cherry hits pretty sharp alongside an oaky spice. Although the dark fruit up front has a tartness to it, the sip transitions to a rich vanilla infused molasses flavor nicely. Finish: medium long finish with a nice caramel note that lingers and leaves you wanting more.
