The nose is a mix of salt and butterscotch hard candy. The wave of vanilla creme is like 1/4 of a Skybar. There is not a moment if harshness; it's all confection. The first taste is salt, with a mellowed out Werther's Original, followed by salt and vanilla. A perfect rhyme between the aroma and the flavor. The finish is pure candy: molasses, syrup, butterscotch. This is a confection in a dram. Not complex but if you have a sweet tooth you could do a hell of a lot worse.
