Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Caramel, vanilla, baking spice. Palate: Cinnamon, clove, and oak notes. Finish: Nice length with medium heat. Splash: Some nutty notes appear. Overall: 6/10 - This is great for a mixer, and primarily why I bought it. I can't say it's great neat, but it doesn't have to be.
