Batch 22, 116.3 proof. Neat from a Glencairn glass. Lots of spicy cinnamon on the nose, charred orange peel and vanilla. Very slight hint of mint. Proof doesn’t stand out. Sweet caramel, vanilla, maple and brown sugar galore on the front of the palate with barrel spice, oak and red hots on the back. Really like how it starts sweet then slides to spicy. Oily and full bodied. Nice punch from the Cask Strength. Long lasting spicy finish with more brown sugar. Man that finish hangs around for a while! Almost like pop rocks. Solid MGP stuff that I will always have on hand if can be found. Definitely in my top 5. Cold weather, by the fire sipper for sure.
