Nose: yeasty bread, orange pekoe tea leaves, musty grape, wet wood, slightly cardboardy. Palate: sweeter than the nose lets on, woody plum, nutmeg and cinnamon. The cognac comes through especially on the finish. Almost more like a woody Armagnac. Interesting whiskey, which is a plus in my book. The slight cardboard note that comes and goes for me is a negative, however. Wasn't one I had heard anything about, but really excited to have had a chance to try, thanks to @PBMichiganWolverine
