A pleasant spirit that is easy to drink, with a touch of spice and vanilla. A subtle nutty residue, like walnuts, remains on the palate. Given its price, I believe this is a worthwhile purchase and plan to buy more.

About this bottle
A 5-grain mash bill comprising corn, malted rye, chocolate malted rye, Special B, and 2-row barley forms the basis of this expression.

Wow. An amazing find! Deep color. Notes of dark chocolate and vanilla. Plenty of brown sugar. I would purchase ten bottles if they were available.
Aroma: sweet honey, burnt sugar, creamy vanilla, stony minerality, and a hint of spice. Palate: vanilla, woody oak, and pepper. Aftertaste: astringent tannins, dark chocolate and coffee notes, lingering
The nose presents floral and aged wood aromas. It tastes a bit young, with notes of red currant cherries, licorice taffy, and pine.
The aroma is pleasant, and the taste is quite good, with both sweetness and spice. It leaves a long, warm, and satisfying aftertaste. Definitely worth purchasing again.
Considerably impressed.
