The palate has vanilla, honey, brown sugar, raisins and a light rye spice. Palate is slightly oily with sweet vanilla, rye. Finish is medium long with vanilla and a slight bitterness. Fairly easy to drink with a slight tingle on the edge of the tongue. I am pleasantly surprised by this one. I had very low expectations given the gimmicky-ness of the bottle. I found one for $9.99 so I opted in for it.
