Nose... Candied caramel, raisins, apricots, and a strong scent of freshly baked rye bread bordering on french toast... Color... A light to medium copper... Taste... Marshmallow, apricot, butter, almond, mint, and a floral yet herbal quality. The taste is ever evolving with this bottle. Overall... It's quite a nice value for the complexity it offers. So many bold and nuanced flavors. This bottle has legs for days plus a smooth and buttery mouth feel. Very solid indeed....
