Neat. Neck pour. Cherry and vanilla bomb to the face. Hint of cola. Powdered sugar. Nice oak buried deep disguised as chocolate. Hint of mint, maybe even dill. Splash of nuttiness. Interesting nose, comes in hot if not careful.
Super thick, oily mouth feel. Dark chocolate and molasses. Intense on the tongue. Barrage of vanilla and oak on the finish. Still getting that dill even. Cherry and cola makes its way round on subsequent sip.
Intrigued by this one. Not in love with it like the C918 (yet?) but it’s an intense, flavorful experience.

Found this one randomly sitting at my local grocery wine shop - easily a winner for balance of complexity and drinkability (less burn than the proof led me to expect)
