Taste: Neat in glen cairn at room temp then 1 small cube added
Nose (3.75): Good bit of ethanol followed by red fruit and cherries. Detect a bit of citrus, perhaps orange.
Palate (4.25): Cherries and brown sugar dominate with some heat. Adding a small bit of ice opens up some oak, vanilla, and cinnamon. Nice mouthfeel
A bit of water or ice helps this one a great bit. A very solid pour and worthe bottle price under 60.00
Finish (3.75): Finish is long and lingers, slightly boozy with cinnamon and redhots.

One of the highest proof bottles out there, if the nose doesn't burn a bit you may be a cyborg.
spot on with that one. Cherry Coca Cola with a hot streak that is exactly what I was getting. I couldnt quite place that cherry- vanilla-carmel mashup but knew I had tasted that somewhere before! I am wondering how this bottle will change after its opened and a little air has gotten to it. I am going to poke my nose back into it and sip a bit in a couple days to see.
@Swahili1 I enjoyed that batch too. Tastes like a boozy cherry Coke to me!
