Dynamic nose that really commands your attention, you know you're in for something good. Vanilla, cherry, almond, leather, brown sugar, butterscotch, allspice. The longer it sits the more old musty used bookstore notes and charred oak I pick up.
Warmth all around the mouth and throat but it never becomes overwhelming. Great balance of spice and sweet. I get the vanilla, brown sugar and butterscotch I got from those nose. Orange and clove come in after the bakeshop sweets fade. Mint and a little cherry cola on the long finish. Leaves my mouth pretty dry. Mouthfeel is nice and supple but its med + at best.
Took a few months for me to review this for whatever reason. It wasn't speaking to me for the first few pours and I wanted to give it some time. It really came into its own. Very nice

yea this one took some time for me too. Patience paid off on this one. @ContemplativeFox
This one didn't click for me the first time I had it at a bar either. I'm glad you were able to get a bottle and really started to like it :)
