The color is a vibrant gold which irregularly coats the glass with a nose that starts with a floral rye spiciness, vanilla, cherry liqueur, charred oak and a hint of caramel. The palate is somewhat rich and fills the mouth with a smooth rye spiciness that is balanced by vanilla, along with charred oak, cherry liqueur, caramel and a slight astringency mixed with cinnamon. The finish is medium long with fading rye and vanilla, while the astringency blends with cinnamon and the charred oak.
