The first taste is stupid hot from the high abv. I blame the neck pour, which I originally thought was a myth for bad alcohol. I’ll say this, my first pour felt like it was good bourbon that needed a ton of water to open it up. Second pour...different story. It was like drinking a delicious bourbon flavored with peanuts. Tons of peanut flavor and a nice finish of vanilla and caramel. Worth every penny, just let it breath for a bit.
