The purist in me attacked this one head on. Having never tried an OF product before I was excited about this find and equally excited for the experience. So in a shot glass it went. The nose was medicinal to me which I kind of expected. Also picked up earthy notes and some vanilla. The taste was hot on the first sip but settled on sips two and three. Warm finish made me wish it was a cold snowy day. Fun barrel proof experience overall.
