Nose: Maple, caramel, butterscotch Palate: Nice oily mouthfeel. More maple and caramel. Smooth initially. Spiciness coming through later and lingering. Some black pepper notes here. Initial smoothness gives way to some burn. Finish: Medium length, dry, spicy, with hints of brandy. Overall pretty good. However not the smoothest and not overly complex. Forty Creek has had better offerings.
