Batch 2, second of the mostly empty bottles in my mother in laws cabinet. Amber in color. Nose is rich and warm with vanilla, ethanol, spice and floral notes. There’s a bit of something tannic in the background. Zing! Dried tobacco, brown sugar, baking spices. Thin and hot but without imparting pain. There’s some toast, leather and clove in there as well. The finish is medium long with more leather than aforementioned items. Fits with the 4 roses higher rye profile but without the brighter fruity pebbles notes. What it’s not: - viscous - buttery - fruity/floral - nutty - without sting What it is - spicy - tobacco smoke - potent vanilla
