Nose: 3.5 | sweet - black fruit/cherries, slight spice Palate: 3.75 | big mouthfeel, sweet upfront, cherry syrup, anise, licorice Finish: 3 | long, slight oak and spice Value: 3.5 Verdict: Bar I really wanted to love this but just couldn't. There was something almost medicinal about the finish that was a bit of a turnoff. Great in a Manhattan though.
