The nose is dried flowers, potpourri, isopropyl alcohol, sherry and oak casks; Cherrywood. The aroma is a lot of finished wood and heavy alcohol fumes. Tastes of heavy rock salt, with a dash of white pepper. The burn on the palate is no joke. Bittersweet sherry and Bing cherry. It's got a grainy component that reminds me of a thick Barleywine in beer parlance. The finish is is tiramisu, custard, vanilla creme, dried fruit peel, on a surprisingly delicate and creamy body. This one slaps you across the face and then politely apologizes.
