pungent berry bush, cherry cola syrup, potpourri, oak, tobacco, burnt brown sugar, cinnamon, just-right sweetness, hot, short, dry maple finish. I bit hot (recently finished a bottle of Maker's Mark Cask strength and this is hotter) but it's a great whiskey that screams Xmas with berries and potpourri. I picture an Xmas Reith every time I take a sniff. Great stuff for $32.
