Nose
Oak and vanilla are predominant, with undertones of mint, caramel, and baking spice. Also notes of nutty dough, rye toast, and a soft nose of honey and tobacco.
Palate
Warm and bold, with lots of spices. Robust initial flavor filled with notes of caramel and clove. Very faint hints of peat and smoke. Slightly earthy. Mellows into Maraschino cherry, honey syrup, and rye bread with caraway.
Finish
Surprisingly easy drinking for its proof with a long, warm, spicy finish. Lingers pleasantly with warm baking spice, cooling mint, thyme, and pink peppercorns.
