The aroma is so sweet it resembles sweet white wine. The palate is even sweeter, tasting almost like brandy. There are abundant grape notes, similar to Canadian whiskey. The finish is medium in length and dry.

Slightly harsh at times. Oak, oil, sweetness, and a bit of fruit. The finish is woody.
A new discovery. Abundant vanilla but less sweet than Zaya, which improves it.
Tastes like vanilla ice cream. Fortunate discovery!
A bit of a mess, honestly.
Caramel, vanilla, cream
