An aroma of creamed corn with a few more slices of butter melting on top. Ahh my favorite, shaved coconut. Dry wood staves splashed with brine. Heavy vanilla cream at the end. The palate bites back though. It launches out with huge spices and a little bit of tannins before you can get at the rest of it. Adding a few drops of water freshens the wood on nose. The water reveals the sweet grassy taste of wheat but the alcohol is still domineering. Oily caramel and a hot spearmint finish. For me, water is a must for this. The aroma is everything you could want but the palate will bite you if you don't rub its belly right.
