Color: rust Aroma: corn forward with some malt and floral sweetness that leads into slight cabernet scents Taste: pop! there is a warm sweet corn hit but then it mellows into a cream corn and sweet vanilla cream flavor. Finish: though the cask strength hasn’t shown up yet, it makes itself known on the finish. If drinking neat, it screams of cinnamon spicy heat. Adding a bit of water opens up the sweetness and chills the heat a little buy does not destroy the flavor profile. And at 64.7% ABV, a little water can’t hurt, amirite. Smooth factor: lol
