750ml poured neat in Glencairn at home. I candidly fear the oak on this one. Here goes...
Nose is vanilla forward, with some honeydew and chocolate (i know, odd combo), strong peanut butter, and then alcohol heat. Rich. Taste brings on the spice and heat to the fore, with more vanilla and peanut, some definite oak, and then black pepper ramping up. Long spicy finish. I like this, maybe quite a bit, but not something I foresee thinking of on a random night of considering tasting options. I need to come back to this after a bit and see where I end up. For now, good not great. 12/4/19.
