sight: light to medium amber, clings nice to glass nose: straight up vanilla with a touch of carmel palate: vanilla gives way to tropical fruit, with carmel and oak. a bit of grass but doesnt overwhelm finish: a bit oily on the tongue but smooth. finish is medium in length, slight burn, vanilla gives way to baking spice. A very good pour that didnt break the bank. Mine was barrel 389 barrelled on 4/16/10 bottled 2/21/18. if I couls say 3.75 stars that would be my ranking. Enjoyable
