Nose: It’s interesting. I get chocolate covered raisins and cinnamon. With a little Smokeyness. Taste: I instantly get the caramel up front. Then a nice smooth spice rolls through with a few peaty notes. It has that nice oak flavor. It has a medium to short finish. Overall: It is a good drink. It has a lot of good attributes of a good drink. I wish that it would be at least 100 proof. That’s just a preference since it generally gives it that thicker/oily mouth feel that has a longer finish. Great release by EC!
