Nice rich notes of vanilla oak , coconut, tea , and burnt toffee. Struggled to find any special flavors on the original neck poor , but returning to this bottle in a few days after hitting the bottle shoulder is proving to be rewarding. I assume my palate was off when i opened it originally because the pour seemed to be inexpressive , but now the nose and flavors are very present . 100 proof has nice mouthfeel. Soft oak considering 15 years , but this proves to be handy as it allows the vanilla , toffee , hints of coconut, and sweet tea to be presented
