Funky nose. Earthy and malty. First taste is all barrel. Caramel and cherry follow with a really nice woody vanilla finish. Some peppery cinnamon in there, too. Easy and long finish with a smooth after feel. So. Damn good.
Raisin, light marshmallow, citrus, lingering finish
It’s rich, complex, and smooth.. best served naked
