ok this isn't fall of 2018 but I have no idea how they do this. I'll deal with this later 53.15% and based on details other than at least 12 years old, this is likely 13 years old. Nose - Rich caramel, rye spice, and awesome. Oak and spearmint and all kinda of sweetness. Taste - So off the bat it's a bit acidic and harsh. So I'm going right into some water. Ok so it's a very nice MGP product. It's spicy complex and sweet sweet vanilla and caramel. I get christmas trees and liquorish. So this is an assertive and intense MGP 12-13-14 year old bottle. It's so sweet forward with great spices. Everything just works. Intense explosive and I do get a grape like thing. Terrible review but the score is a 3 and I'd debate going to a 4. I'll re review.
