Leather, brown sugar, cinnamon on the nose. A bite of ethanol as well. Ethanol is what I get first on the palate and I’m waiting for something else to develop. Taking a second sip, it’s heavy oak spice. Add that to the proof and I can’t find much else. Maybe some cherry Twizzler on the back end. It drinks heftier than it is, which I don’t appreciate, but I do like the flavors dancing in my mouth and throat at the moment.
