Nose: Not a huge or dynamic nose, but many intricacies here. Caramel and barrel spices of nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and vanilla to start. Also tropical fruit, white chocolate, a hint of celery and faint oak. Flavor: Rich and oily in the mouth. Sweet, honey like agave with feisty barrel spices as mentioned above, with the addition of cardamom and white pepper. Then follows buttery caramel to quell the heat. Finish: Longish bold finish with a tiny mention of bitterness - not really a detractor though.

Nose: Cinnamon & cloves, vanilla & butterscotch, minerals, a cedar and pine nuance with some pleasantly interesting butyric acid notes that recede as it opens up. Flavor: Kicky cinnamon and black pepper, almond and vanilla. Rich agave, honey like sweetness and mouth feel. Caramel with just a touch of bitters. Finish: Pepper heat, barrel spice, a bit of oak and caramel goodness make for a more than adequate finish.
