Notes of cherry, brown sugar, sweet leather/tobacco, and dark, sweet oak. This pretty much sums it up. The alcohol content was a little low, and it's noticeable, but it's still cask strength. I heard rumors that it contains some 18-year-old bourbon. It's certainly a unique experience. I spent a bit too much at $250. If it were closer to $175, I would consider it a definite purchase. Even at $250, I'm not unhappy with it, but it doesn't represent great value for the price.

The nose has a significant amount of bittersweet oak, which is delightful! The palate comes across as more bitter initially, with sweetness towards the back.However, adding 3 drops (literally) of water makes a huge difference. It becomes much sweeter, and it's amazing!!
Spicy but with a good amount of sweetness. Nice long finish.
Notes of apricot, alcohol, and wood tannins.
