A gorgeous, rich amber in the glass. This dram looks so classy sitting on my table; perhaps too classy for me. I’ma taste it anyways! Vanilla, toffee, and spices on the nose. Spices like chai tea or those winter spice beers. Cinnamon, nutmeg, clove. I think I get a hint of citrus in there somewhere. Little char-smoke too. This dude dances on the tongue. Same spices, sweet, dark toffee. Citrus definitely on the palate. A nice backbone of smokiness as well. The finish is noice, but not as long as I would expect. Pepper, drying spice like clove, and the last thing to go is smoke. Like I smoked a cigarette 30 minutes ago. Very noice. A big boy. It’s like a good buddy you haven’t seen in a while. You’re excited to see him, and the first thing he does is punch you in the arm super hard. Then you have a laugh about it.
