Great candied sugar aroma, with burnt caramel, cotton candy, and a hint of brine. Deep, layered flavors of oak, barrel char, vanilla, cinnamon, and leather. Butterscotch and dried candied dark fruits in the mid-palate. That hint of brine in the nose manifests itself as a salty peanut flavor just before the finish and lends a welcome funky note. Long, hot finish lasts for days. A real winner.
