Nose: Nice caramel and vanilla tones on the nose. I keep getting a hard alcohol hit to the nose that I hope isn’t so harsh when I drink it. Taste: This has a nice caramel and baking spice upfront with hints of vanilla and oak. The flavors are all there but it’s slightly subdued and light. It’s a good overall drink. It’s smooth and is enjoyable but the flavors just don’t pop like I wanted them to with this one.
