Nose:
Zest citrus hits the nose, toasted oak, honeysuckle, vanilla bean, classic old school bourbon with life! Its sweetness is perfect with some hearty oak notes that balanced nose.
Front:
Like the nose it citrus butter sweet orange than a vanilla and oak start to coat the mouth, with brown sugar, caramel, and a fruit hits again. The oak remains, but there is a floral fruit side.
Back/Finish:
Pairing with the cigar i still get a good charr oak and then pulls away during the finish and quickly I get many of the fruitier complexity floral flavors. It lingers slowly and I bet with this cigar goes for a good minute making is a slow & low sipper
My magical 🧙♂️ afternoon cheers WGT Family!

the one thing that really hits me in this is the char oak. almost like a bbq but pleasantly so. a bit of smokehouse.
