Neat in a glencairn. A rich ochre in the glass. Slightly underwhelming viscosity for 100 proof. A vibrant, yeasty, cinnamon roll dough nose with raspberry and mint edging in. Some oak and vanilla. A punchy heat doesn't permit a long sniff, but not rough.
Prominently spicy on the palate while sweetness only lingers afterward. Chili pepper, oak astringency, and a gentle vanilla. Sweet cinnamon and clove. Oily lemon peel.
Young and brash but quite flavorful with nothing harsh anywhere in the profile. Absolutely loving this - a bold and rich sipper with the backbone for vibrant cocktails. A knockout value in the low $20s and clearly differentiates itself from the more routine 51% offerings around this price point.
