Deep amber color, good legs. I get gingerbread, nutmeg, vanilla, cookie dough, and a hint of pleasant soap on the nose. Taffy, some peanut butter, and surprising spice on the palate. Nice lingering warmth, it definitely feels like a 100-proofer. Adding a limestone water ice cube accentuates the cookie dough on the nose and brings out some sugar and wood notes on the palate. At this price, I can see why this is a must-have in anyone's collection. I prefer this to EW 1783. 2/13/17
