Served: One medium sized ice cube over a regular pour Notes: Extremely smooth notes of oak & a tinge of pine fill the mouth. This eventually settles down as the cherry and vanilla swirl around before the spice of the wood finishes it off. Comments: Very good notes for a very good price. It is a great sipper, but if you dont like a woodsy mouthful, I wouldn’t recommend this bottle. In a sense, it is so oaky that it gives off a bit of the bitter aspects of the wood. It’s a lot more velvety and cherry-like without is being over ice.
