Aroma: Dry spice cabinet, sweet smoke. Corn tortilla chips. Taste: Abundant hot honey sweetness. A touch of sea salt. Finish: Lingering charcoal smoke and black pepper. A red apple sweetness appears much later. Adding a little water brings out more fruit and reduces the pepper heat, which I find makes it more enjoyable.

Although it lacks the earthy funk of the 13-Amontillado, this possesses a nice level of funk with a somewhat sweeter and more approachable feel. Truly delightful.
It's decent without excelling in any particular area. Somewhat indistinct.
A deep funk, more charred than medicinal. Very potent too.
