Nose: Christmas, cognac right off the bat—grape, vanilla, fruity and rich. No alcohol burn at all, smooooooth. Hints of oak and of cinnamon. Transported me to a small cottage in a forest in the winter. Fantastic. Body: wow. Thick and round, a blast of warm spice. Mouth-coating, peppery and explosive, not smooth as I was expecting. Palate: veeeery unusual. Cinnamon spice, somewhat nutty, oak, almost bourbon-like. Fire. Finish: mouth coating. hints of menthol, veeeeeeery spicy, bitter, long-lasting.
