Bottle has about third left, after several pours and sharing it with friends. It’s been open less than six months.
Nose: Lemon, shellfish, vanilla, peat and driftwood.
Palate: Creamy, spicy and hot with a bit of orchard fruit, baking spices, camp fire smoke and vanilla.
Finish: Long and spicy.
I really wanted to like this more than I do. Ice made this better for me, taking away some of the heat on the palate, but not finish.
Neat I give it 3.50, with a big ice cube 3.75
