Neat. Nose is sweet, loads of caramel, oak, cocoa, agave, pepper. Very little heat. Taste is very sweet. Caramel, agave, milk chocolate, a little oak and smoke, and a little cherry?, cinnamon, and black pepper. Finish is, surprise, sweet..cocoa, black pepper. Medium rich mouthfeel and very smooth. It's tasty and easy to drink, but in an artificial kinda way. I'm sure this is an additive bomb. It's almost rummy and schnappy, but with more kick, yet still smooth. Think tequila mixed with Kahlua. I'm sure it will be a pleaser to those who don't like tequila. Juice is probably 2 for purists. It is what it is. I'm not dumping it, but probably wouldn't buy again
