Nose: caramel bomb. Faint cherry and oak. Faint nuttiness. Little rye and pencil shavings. Body: full, enveloping, thats the abv. Palate: cinnamon spice and caramel. Peppery. Finish: medium, long with a kentucky hug. Note: bought from lucky seven directly. This is a strong, robust, caramel and peppery dram. I like it but dont love it.
