Kind of excited to try this since it's a super deal at $30, I like the Pikesville, and it's not available in my state. Fortunately I know a guy who shops in Oregon!
Nose: Butterscotch and quite a bit of baking spices up front. The signature nutty Heaven Hill note comes through right after with hints in the background of mint and oak.
Flavor: Sweet and spicy! The Heaven Hill nuttiness is subdued but there with more baking spices and toasted pecans.
Finish: Medium long and somewhat drying first rye spice and oak followed by mint and tarragon and then leather and clove.
Boy this is an interesting one. Clearly some age on this NAS product. A huge bargain at $30. Hope they release this everywhere soon as I'll have to nurse this bottle in the meantime.
