The color is a rich amber with oil that quickly coats the glass. The nose spicy in a good way if you’re careful, with cinnamon, allspice, pepper, leather, rye, oak, vanilla and cooked brown sugar. The palate is dry but rich, with the spiciness being dominant, along with oak, sweet vanilla, brown sugar and caramel. The finish is long and spicy with lingering oak, vanilla and caramel that all keeps the mouth feeling hot and sweet for an eternity.
