A pretty old bottle.. maybe 7 or 8 years old. Neat. Visually clear and deep copper. Nose is sweet and fruity. Ripe stone fruit..cherry, apricot, plum..balanced with some herbal and grassy rye, some caramel and a little dusty oak and leather. Taste is pleasant. Lots of fruit flavors matching the nose, with a little hot cinnamon, black pepper, some tarragon/light anise herbal notes, with some vanilla and oak. Finish is sweet, with raisins and some spice. Overall, a prettier profile with the herbal fruit heavy notes. A nice try ror those who enjoy Four Roses., tho I give Four Roses a slight edge and also save 20 bucks
