Bottom line upfront, this is delicious. The nose is somewhat alcohol forward with notes of baked bread, earthy barrel char, baking spice, and a hint of dried leather in the background. The palate is very sweet with notes of maple, ginger, spiced apples, and cinnamon. Digging a little deeper, burnt brown sugar and dry roasted peanuts present themselves in the background. This tastes pretty smooth for being 110 proof. The finish gives way to notable spice that peaks and subsides into a long, oily finish with a subtle burn slowly tapering off into a final hint of bitter chocolate.
