All of the deep rich flavors are emphasized here: d deep oak, baking spice, caramel, toffee, vanilla with a bit of maple and bright cherry around it all. Some fruit comes out on the end, but it seems to mostly finish with a spicy vanilla oak that hangs for a while. Medium finish. Not typical for makers, and really good. Love the nice sweet cherry pastry-like flavors with a good punch - up my alley.
