Nose is sweet like an orangesicle. A bit of spice as well. Like a light pepper. That spice comes through on a neat sip, but it’s not harsh. Easy sipper. The heat and flavor lingers, but it’s pleasant. I’m surprised that the sweetness that I was smelling seems to be hidden. But with a bit of water/ice, it comes out nicely. It’s pretty good for a bottle that it aged about 2 years.
