12/2/18 advent. Very sweet cinnamon and Carmel on the nose. Picked up some alcohol smell too. An overall pleasant smell, but not as rich as one might hope. Sip one: Sweet on the front. Fruity in the middle. Sort of a charred taste on the back. Pleasant long burn afterwards. More burn than I would expect from less than 100proof. Aftertaste has a slight hint of sherry. Sip 2: things I love: rich carmely coating late mid pallet. Things I don’t like: thin sherry immediately before the Carmel, and late in the aftertaste. Sip 3: identical to sip 2. I feel like pallet entry is almost invisible.
