Average color in the glass. Smooth smell to it, not what I expect from this high of barrel proof. Smells like an old leather wallet(doesn’t smell like ass) like an old leather wallet your grandfather (pun intended) handed down to you. Pretty smooth on the tongue, but then on the swallow it comes across as an aggressive firework of the barrel proof explosion burn, that you feel in your entire mouth. The only flavor I pick out is caramel popcorn. This remind me of some sort of fall festival/Christmas party hot spice drink, Give you the warmth mouth, throat, and chest feel as it goes down.
