2oz pour in a highball glass. McDonald’s maple syrup rises from the glass a foot away. That’s pretty much it for me. Maybe a little milk chocolate or mounds bar but nose is 99% sweet. No wood, nuts or even fruit for me.
Body is light and initially smooth but builds with heat and spice...
Palate is more imitation maple syrup up front with mid-palate pepper and a short finish bursting with sugar cane sweetness.
I annoyed this with an order of chicken and waffles, really a perfect pairing. Solo this would be a hard pass for me due to lacking viscosity, complexity and a longer finish. Novel, but I’d rather pay half as much and grab a bottle of funky Jamaican rum.

I had fun with this one, but I think you've nailed the Angel's Envy soul in here. Their stuff is way too expensive given its simplicity.
