Nose: orange candy, artificial confectioner's sugar, very pleasant and smells like a candy store Taste: fresh orange on the front. Leads to a bold (but not overpowering) spice, tastes like a fall treat. Finish is a mellowing of the spice, leaves me ready for the next sip. Super clean. This was hyped up to me and did not disappoint. I was given a sample and now I'd like a bottle. I'd keep this around for awhile.
