Stole a skosh from a gift bottle a couple of times over the last two weeks. Took awhile to open up, but seems to be singing now. Borderline chestnut oloroso in color. Boisterous aromas of buttered wood, roasted peanuts, roasted almonds, burnt sugar, spearmint syrup, brown sugar. Rich and spicy on the palate with loads of caramel, strawberry, cream, cinnamon, baking spice, some caraway and some anise seed. The finish dries with the anise and alcohol becoming more pronounced. Very drinkable
