Nose is full of woody aromas; oak (duh), but also cedar and spruce. More subdued notes of caramel, vanilla, apple, and nutmeg. Ethanol non-existent.
Palate much sweeter than the aroma would indicate with creme brûlée, powered sugar, a fruity date/fig note, cashew nut, citrus zest, and leather, all riding on an underbelly of soft, sweet oak. Not the richest or most complex, but what’s here is nicely presented.
Shortish finish turns moderately tannic with more oak (some sweet and some bitter), the nutmeg promised in the nose, black pepper, wet newspaper pulp, and candied ginger. Mouthfeel is on the light side of medium bodied and just slightly grainy.
Definitely one of the best Angel’s Envy products I have sampled. I wished it was a little older and a little higher proof but it’s…nice? Note that nice is far from wow. At a retail of $69.99, it’s more of a “glad I tried it” than a rebuy.
