The nose is delightful. Super soft and delicate for 125 proof. Light caramel sweetness with a bit of floral ness and campfire smoke. There is so much going on on the palate. The sweetness lightens up even more, fresh tobacco, and an herbal spice wrestles with the caramel, in a very beautiful way. It lingers for about a minute, and keeps you coming back for more. Adding a few drops of water goes a long way as well.
