Neat. Opened 6 months. Been a long time since I had this one. I know my first impression wasn’t strong but then it seemed to open up as weeks went by. Time for a more official deep dive with this opened bottle.
Getting a lot of cinnamon roll, even down to the vanilla frosting. Little raspberry too. Hint of mint. That’s about it though. Not much depth, not many angles to explore. It’s crisp and nice though don’t get me wrong.
Nice creamy texture, total cinnamon vanilla bomb. Being equally assaulted with the spice and sweetness. It is really nice up front. Blast of cinnamon throughout the experience and on the legs. So much cinnamon. On the tail end of the finish there is a second blast of vanilla that is absolutely delicious. One of the best vanilla notes on memory. Those raspberries are starting to come through on subsequent sips. Even getting some Heaven Hill nuttiness on the finish too.
The taste won me over. That cinnamon and vanilla one two punch with over the top sweetness is delightful. Geez, I’m going to go back and reread my first impression to see if it’s still the same notes. I think the cinnamon has been persistent but this sweetness and vanilla feel new. I avoided B520 but maybe that was a mistake...
