Act 7 Scene 2
Aroma is so well integrated that picking out individual notes takes some effort. Smells “good” but digging in finds wintergreen, nutmeg, bubblegum, honey, dill, cinnamon, chocolate covered cherry, and a hint of anise.
Flavor opens with a balanced buttery sweetness heavy with baking spices and molasses; like a Christmas cookie. Flavors are rich and very rounded. No one flavor stands out. Transitions very smoothly to the finish.
Finish is loooooong with cinnamon, apricot, while pepper, mint, oak, and a hint a dill. Mouthfeel is full and caresses the tongue.
What stands out here is how balanced and full flavored this is while at the same time exhibiting softness and delicacy. Ideal for those nights when you want something a little subdued without sacrificing anything. Top notch and would rebuy again that the $75 price I paid.

These run at 100$ or better around me, I keep hesitating, does this really "speak to you"?
