Nose - buttercream frosting, almond, butterscotch, cinnamon, corn, maple syrup, vanilla, honey, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - butterscotch, cinnamon, buttercream frosting, honey, vanilla sweet cream, maple syrup, corn, almond, low alcohol bite, finishing quick, bright, and syrupy sweet like an unhealthy breakfast, similar to the E&J XO brandy I recently tried. Overall, it’s better than I expected. Granted, it’s massively dosed with flavorings, but doesn’t present as cloyingly disgusting as you’d imagine. I could see this being a good cola mixer, but not much outside of that.
