Sweet and creamy nose. Light butterscotch hints. (Neat) Across the tongue is just sweet sweet toffee and vanilla, until you pull it to the back of the mouth then a huge flash of minty menthol. Lingering spice, but more nasal than cheek burn. After, some banana lingering with the iodine after-effects of the heat flash. Good, but a little mint-centric versus other flavor profiles that I prefer. Excellent value for the money, however ($40), and the longer I sip after the palate has adjusted the more sweet brown sugar I taste, with less spice. It's good, folks.
