Aroma: A mix of spiced orange peel, apple, and somewhat sharp oak. Mouthfeel: Gentle flavors, caramel, mild oak, and a touch of spice. It simply feels sharp and immature. Lacks depth and has a brief finish. Not a standard double oak, and not worth the cost.

Subtle smoke, pronounced oak, notes of vanilla, leather, initial sweetness with a touch of bitterness at the end. Pleasant over ice.
It reminds me of Henry McKenna. There's a lot of vanilla, less spice than McKenna but still present, and more oak. It's nice.
The aroma is dominated by rye. The taste is upfront rye with a slight burn at the end.
Tastes like herbal black tea. No intensity, no burn.
