Aroma: Grapey, leathery, fruity, malty, and nutty with subtle notes of cocoa, vanilla pod, baking spice, and bubblegum. Taste: BAKING SPICE! Grapey sweetness, leather, nuts, dried fruit, cocoa, and some oak. Finish: Medium-Long -> Baking spice (heavy on clove and cinnamon), orange peels, and a bit of vanilla and oak.

This was a standout from a M&H tasting session. A pleasant aroma. Comforting. The cognac character is noticeable. It coats the palate. There's a bit of alcohol sting, so a splash of water would be beneficial.

Significant burn, good flavor
