Pale reddish straw color - thin body but reasonably oily legs. Thin nose with inescapable ethanol that prevents a long nosing, but not harsh. Mint, vanilla, brown sugar and cereal grain with some cherry notes. A sharp oak and mint open the taste, that fades to coat the mouth in a syrupy, candied vanilla sweetness. Some citrus rind, baking spices, and tart cherry. The finish holds the sweet syrup notes, lingering impressively and outshining the palate. With only a half ounce left in the bottle it has definitely grown on me since opening. I think that’s a deeper appreciation for the OF profile and some palate maturity on my part. A very solid bottle if found in the low $20s. Finish > Palate > Nose.
