Cracked this open finally to share with @Looneyhead Tried neat, obvi. On the nares its high oak with slight vanilla and caramel and spicy. On the palate again, lots of oak. More spice than I expected.. not definetly not too much spice amd it is smooth. Also notes of pepper & cinnamon. Just want to say… YAY FOR CRACKING THIS BOTTLE OPEN!!
