Had the first pour a week ago. Now it is time to see how this bottle is. Nose: This is deep and you can honestly get lost in trying to pull out all the nuances. Vanilla, caramel come out first but dark cherries, tobacco, spearmint, and dark crusty bread lie underneath. Palate: A blast of leather, cherries, and oak punch first. Some dark chocolate, pipe tobacco, vanilla and baking spices are worming their way as you chew on this hefty pour. Finish: this pour just keeps kicking - cinnamon, oak, more cherries, just keep hitting. A viscous, chewy, dark, and deep whiskey that begs you to come back. Worth every penny.
