Dragon's Milk Small Batch Toasted Barrel Barrel Proof 2023B Ballgame

Smells of apple pie and vanilla. The vanilla is the most dominant scent, making it very sweet. The palate is intensely spicy. Apple flavors come through with that vanilla, plus some nuttiness. It finishes with a minty note, similar to mouthwash, but not unpleasant. The alcohol content is noticeable throughout. A solid pour, considerably above average. Possibly a bit more intricate than A, but I slightly prefer that one.

This has become even more pleasing after revisiting the bottle. The nose presents cherry and vanilla. Overall, it's a sweet spirit with spice throughout. I'm detecting more of a candied almond note, which balances the sweetness and spice. The finish carries the almond and vanilla notes. It possesses a spicy character but remains balanced with its flavor profile.
