The nose is rich of charred oak, vanilla, peanuts, leather, rye spice and touches of brown sugar. It comes across as being very full and enticing. It almost smells like a sweet dessert. The palate is full, dry and chewy, and instantly fills the mouth with charred oak and a big burst of baking spices and cherry. It is quite intense but flavorful, as further sips lead to more flavor. The sweeter notes of vanilla and peanuts come out, mingling for a very bold experience. There are faint notes of caramel at the end, adding to how lush this is. The finish is long and spicy with the mouth tingling from spice and oak, as the creamier notes fade.
