Its slightly abrasive on the nose, but Im getting light vanilla to it - its not an overpowering sweetness, but it is present. I feel like Im getting a light appley sweetness to it as well - like fresh sweetness. Got little bit of heat to it on the palate, And im getting a strong baking spice taste to it, like a peppery cinnamon flavor. I do enjoy how it carries into the back half and finish, though, its got some staying power. An enjoyable sip but a little pricey for what you get.
