Color: nice amber color with solid legs. Nose: fruity scent to it. But it is a very hard to place fruit. Like deep and dark scent. Smells like something that you would go to on a cold winter night. Taste: warm spices on the back of the tongue. It’s the first thing I notice. Some sweetness on the front, but it quickly turns to the warm spices. Very little burn even though it is a high proof. Finish?: long warm finish. Water?: no water needed.
