Nose: Maple syrup, cherry, honey, almond extract, and fair amount of alcohol Palate: Honey sweetness up front, but then nothing but cherry hard candy Finish: The cherry carries on forever, then finally fades into sweet oak Overall: Not super complex but still really enjoyable. If I could actually find this I could see this as a perfect nightly sipper. I was on the fence between a 4 or a 3.75, but the availability decided it for me.
