I drank this neat with two large ice cubes in a rock glass. On the nose, I get notes of black cherry and toffee amidst the sour mash. On later sniffs, there is a noticeable toasted marshmallow scent. First sip is a quick creamy vanilla flavor that quickly progresses into a bready, spicy complexity with notes of cinnamon and rye toast. It has a lingering flavor of vanilla that comes through the initial peak of spice that slowly becomes leathery and slightly fruity on the finish. This could be the liquid equivalent of a good cigar.
