Tried neat thanks to my friend adam for buying this for me! Sitting here at Guadalupe mountain national park. On the nares i get slight vanilla, caramel, cherries, rasberries,. On the palate it doesnt taste as sweet as it smells but with notes of oak, nuts, butter. Rated with the help of my beautiful wife! Not super complex and bland finish but good for camping and about to throw some ice in it and have another pour!
