The aroma has a faint caramel presence, barely perceptible yet present. The palate offers spice with a lingering oiliness and sweetness, though the reality doesn't quite match the appealing description. It feels subdued and thin.
It's rough without ice or water. Adding ice or water makes a big difference and improves the flavor. Water and ice bring out the caramel notes.
This one was a pleasant surprise. I had low expectations for some reason, but it offered nice layers of sweet malt and a clean finish.
Nose: prominent notes of caramel, vanilla, with faint cinnamon. Taste: dark fruits, chocolate, a pleasant heat that persists.
Vanilla notes with a touch of cinnamon. It begins with a pleasant warmth, though the finish isn't very enduring.
Notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and dark fruit. A slight bite, yet smooth. A well-developed bourbon.
