1/11/19 - I like the nose up front but the rest seems a little young and may need a little while to open up. I bet in a month or so this will really be nice. The finish does linger, which is nice. 6.7/10 now, but could go up UPDATE 2/25/19 Wow, this has really changed, for the better! The nose is root beer-like that’s sweet, some vanilla and honey. The palate is smooth with a little sting and the sweetness still present from the nose. The finish is definitely delivers way better than before. Less spice, root beer taste comes through with a end reminding you of the wood and heat for a slight hug. This got really, really good. 8.8/10
