Smells hot for only 86 proof, but is surprisingly smooth. I'm new at this but I dont get a whole lot of complexity from it. A bit or orange peel. I do get a hint of caramel. Maybe a bit spice/bitter at the end but not in a bad way.
malt syrup, vanilla, and cereal: a little swampy, dark coffee. The finish is sweet, nicely balanced with a hint of bitters and roasted-coffee/roasted spice-wood and biscuit.
Notes of maritime rocks on the nose . It has notes of toffee and dried fruits on the palate. Medium finish.
Biscuity malty nose. Chocolate and spice flavor with hints of fruit. A spicy lingering finish
Smooth. Fruity and a bit of chocolate. The flavor blend is a bit off
Green apple, vanilla, toasted grains, sugarcane/rum. Dry finish.
