It’s definitely big. Kinda reminiscent of the Elijah Craig BP that just blew my doors off, but not quite that intense. On the nose, it’s very bright and fresh, floral, giving some copper and cherry notes as well as a steady stream of ethanol. On the palate, there’s a lot going on. Ethanol first, then cherry and oak spice, some mint, a slight breadiness, more of that freshness from the nose with some herbal notes, more ethanol. Then from the tail of the midpalate on through the finish, drying cinnamon (a la Hot Tamales intensity), some slight chocolate notes, and then ethanol reverberation. I’d be interested to try once it’s oxidized a bit.
