Cherry, wheat mash dominant. Slightly flat at first intro but quickly materializes in fizzy cherry wholesomeness. Some oak barrel present in presentation and chew. The heat is disguised by a strong flavor profile. Finish is sparkling cherry and not as hot as expected for 118 proof. Some butterscotch picked up in subsequent pours. Not sure this is worth a $130 bottle investment at MSRP but if you can try it at a bar or tasting enjoy!
