It's very fruity, woody, old, sweet, and spicy. It's a lot like Delord 1981. There's some solid complexity, but to could use some more. It's rich enough but I wish that the flavor were more full. I love the plentiful age though. The caramel and toffee are nice though perhaps a bit on the sweet side. The chocolate is good too. The molasses and brown sugar enhance the age. The vanilla is delightfully strong and the tartness is enough to balance it but not rye flavored.
