The nose is brown sugar, dried fruit like raisins or dates, and new shoe leather. The taste starts smooth and sweet with a little honey, then hits with that dried fruit flavor and a bitter pecan then finishes with a creme brulee. Seems oily but it doesn't linger on the palate, not a whole lot of flavor left behind just a little vanilla. Overall this is pretty tasty, doesn't seem pot stilled, not a lot of funky flavors that I would expect, just that bitter pecan.
