Nose: heavy molases, brown sugar, sweet tabacco. Palate: very rich mouth feel. Very sweet with notes of tabacco, oak, caramel, and brown sugar. Finish has a nice black pepper note. Long finish. GREAT Update: the flavor profile has changed since the last time i tasted this bottle and im not really a fan. I still love the sweetness of it, but theres a new and overpowering cheap tasting alcohol burn on the back end. Also a STRONG black pepper note now, over powering. Not really a fan anymore. Reminds me of when you drink something like a Four Loko, its very sweet and tasty on the intro….but then what follows is bitter and cheap alcohol flavor. No bueno. Though, it was a 4.75 for me last time…this time i would say it’s a 3 maybe. I’ll average those scores for around a 3.75.
