First off this is a delicious after dinner drink and a large break from my whiskey heavy past month. Nose is rich with baking spices; allspice, clove, and nutmeg. Paired with a bit of ethanol adds a touch of burn to the nose. The taste is also heavy with baking spices. Viscous, bittersweet, and perfectly spiced. Finish is lingering spice giving way to a balanced bittersweet. I am looking forward to getting this into cocktails.
