Nose – Fruit and vanilla pop out in the lead, and move into a swirling melody of cherries with toasted oak. Doesn’t contain the ethanol punch I expected from this proof. If you’ll tolerate some whimsical indulgence, I’d go as far as to say there’s a note of what I would describe as “old warehouse” or dried barnwood, but in a pleasant and nostalgic way.
Taste – First thought is how it doesn’t drink to it’s proof. This is complex and rich, and very nice. Surprising even. There is the vanilla from the nose, but the fruit is stronger. Cherries in particular, but mixed with other dark fruit and a bit of spice.
Finish – The spice and enjoyable funk from the nose ends up finishing nicely as light leather and wood mix with something between table syrup and caramel.
