Nose... Apples, marshmallows, and raisins lead the way with just a subtle hint of alcohol on the back end... Appearance... Falls between a light to medium amber... Taste... Significantly sweet butterscotch and vanilla come through at first. Followed by pepper, tobacco and a slight pear hint which is faint yet welcoming... Overall... If this were sold at a higher proof it would definitely be a gigantic steal. The bottle could easily find it's way into my cheaper rotation when the price is as low as I found this one to be... 1.75 L bottle
