Honey-colored orange decent Gecko-foot legs.
Redolent of Butterscotch and sea salt in the nose; just a mild hint of barrel char and sherry sweetness, but it's enough to balance out the sweetness. A dry nuttiness and some buttery shortbread. White pepper and toffee.
It's a very buttery flavor: Butterscotch, shortbread, with more brine and toffee. It has a slick, buttery feel.
The finish pivots over to barrel tannins and sherry richness. I am starting to find the chocolate notes in the finish of these also, which here manifests itself as bitter semi-sweet chocolate chips. This is a very solid value for $30.
