This is an over salted orange fruitcake. Copper, butterscotch, brown sugar, savory char and smoke and bright cherries when first opened on the nose. The pallet has a medium richness exposing the pallet with the added taste of strawberries medium salt. The end of the bottle lends to the spiced side of dark fruit and a mild orange citrus. It still has quite the kick on the pallet that might turn away beginners.
