Notes of sweet vanilla, caramel, some smoke, a bit of nuttiness as well. The char is quite prevalent on the flavor profile along with dark berry, licorice, cinnamon, almond, and slight smoke with a finish of burnt oak and spice. This is a really good pour. The nose and flavor are on two different ends of the spectrum. But they're both very pleasant. There's a nice lingering flavor that pulls you back for another sip. I like it more as time goes on.
