First time trying out of a newly popped bottle. Enjoying neat. Nose - very unique nose. Quite a bit of ethanol burn here, some uncommon spices, caramel, and oak. The ethanol really takes over the nose in my opinion. Taste - good sweet and spicy taste here. Starts out lightly sweet and very full. Immediately after a quick sweet sensation there is a lot of smoke, oak and spices. This continues through to the finish and unfortunately gets a little bitter to me in the very end. Overall - this bottle had a ton of hype and with a 50-65$ price tag and not always easy to find I am a bit underwhelmed my first pour. Not bad but I just expected better. Going to let it rest and keep re-visiting this bottle.
