Nose reminded me of sugar or shortbread cookies, with some leather but only at the end of the pour. The palate starts with vanilla bean and baking spices, moves on to dry fruits and then back to the first notes. The pleasant high proof stays with you for a while, from the nose all the way to the finish. The finish is long and the flavors keep on coming at you. Only downside was that it left my tongue dry at first, but only on the first two sips. Overall, I was not expecting this to be so good. Really recommend having this in your collection.
