Nose: Sour cherries are the big one right off the bat. Vanilla and baking spice follow, with a lingering fruitiness from the initial cherry note. Some subtle chamomile and white tea rise toward the end as a pleasant floral accent. Woody oak rounds out the lot.
Palate: Immediate floral-honey sweetness followed by big spices. Oak spice, cinnamon, menthol, and a bit of black pepper. A small amount of ripe cherry comes out with that initial honey sweetness. Is that eucalyptus and spearmint?
Finish: Medium length and slightly astringent. That mint and oak spice keeps going for quite some time, eventually mellowing into a warming vanilla and gentle oak sweetness.
