More complex than our wives' Mary Kay party in the next room, this has more going on than my "appreciator" palate can process. Bone dry is no lie but don't let that scare you off - the combination of flavor effects nears perfection. Alcohol on the nose, charcoal throughout with a touch of smoke. This is sweet vanilla that turns sharply to toasted caramel over spicey oak. This closes very dry, slightly sweet and full of citrus.
