Served as recommended, out of the freezer. Nose - some vanilla and Apple, some spice... Cold glass feels nice in my hand, like having a cocktail. Palate - bitterness prominent at first, rounds out a little as drank, but fairly one dimensional. Vanilla notes hiding in the background. Finish - slightly harsh, somewhat like Danaerys's massacre of Kings landing, which happens to be what I'm watching as I drink this, so I may be slightly skewed. It does however change into a subtle sweetness, not unlike a Canadian whisky.... Or is it the reunification of Cercei and Jamie Lannister I'm tasting? Overall, probably best served as a component of a cocktail such as a rusty nail, or at least enjoyed with a large helping of Game of Thrones.
