N: Mostly vanilla, caramel, and ethanol. So basically it smells like a sweet, cheap bourbon. If you work for it, there's some red apple and eventually you can separate the rye from the ethanol (maybe).
P: The same standard vanilla, caramel, and booze combo rules. Really nice, spicy finish though. It's a very bready rye spice first, then a bit of alcohol burn, and a lingering cinnamon that feels like a little of both. Finish is the high point here. It lasts too.
I think this is the third bottle of this I've picked up in the last year or so. Easily my least favorite, or I wouldn't have kept buying it. I remember it being softer and fruitier. Maybe my palate has shifted some since the last bottle. Regardless, there's not enough happening here to try it again. Not undrinkable, but mediocre at best.
