Sweet. Vanilla. Nice finish with a tiny hint of spice lingering. Fairly rich; not thin, but not rare breed rich, either. This is a GREAT value for the price. My only critiques are that it's not very complex, and it's a little one dimensional in the sense that the sweetness dominates. Being a wheater, not shocking. I just prefer a little heavier, richer profile with the elusive perfectly spiced finish that lingers. I'll still happily sip this neat, but I wouldn't make this an all day session bottle. Still has a place in my cabinet, though.
