The nose has the spice of a rum with the sweetness from the corn. It is hard to get past the rum finish, honestly not smelling much past it. The taste is almost a honey in sweetness then the spice from the rum barrels washes over your tastebuds into the finish. On the next few sips there is a touch of oak that is then drowned out by the spice. Behind that spice is a solid sweetness. The hug is pretty standard. It does present with the spice from the rum barrels that sticks around. Overall I really enjoy the balance of the spice to the sweetness. I may have a bias with this pour as well. I have drank a few bottles of this and my typical pour is over sphere of ice. The rocks seems to open up and tames the spice out a bit leaning more into the honey from the first sips.
