The first thing I notice is the spice, lots of spice. Prominent notes of vanilla, cinnamon followed by heat. Though the more i have the sweeter it becomes. It's exactly as "raw and aggressive" as the review would lead you to believe. Not exactly my taste I'll admit since i prefer something smoother that comes with an age statement. Glad i happen to try it but i won't be buying a bottle.

Spicy with some vanilla. Assertive on the finish. Solid for the price.
It definitely has a unique taste. I like the start and the middle, but there is something a little off putting about the finish, but I can't name the taste.
