A heavily sherried dram with notes of black tea and dark maple syrup. A little water coaxes out a kick of red pepper that lingers into a very spicy finish. Sherry and spice ... it tastes like Christmas. Note: This was one of five mystery samples that @PBMichiganWolverine sent me with little information other than a list of five countries to match them to. Happy to say I aced the geography quiz.
