Body is light, no legs. Color is straw to light tan, maybe like a wet straw. Nose is ethanol forward, but if you can get past the initial sting there are hints of shortbread cookie and light caramel, but overall a pretty light nose. Mouth feel is light. A burn that coats your burn and back of your throat. Taste is a punch of burn, right in the back of your throat. That gives way to a little vanilla, baking spices, especially clove, which lingers on the back of your tongue. A bit of a numbing sensation on the tongue, similar to a rye whiskey.
