The French oak giving off a delicious sweetness, dried fruit, prunes, cherries, a little vanilla, smoke, pepper, roasted nuts, light chocolate. Taste of oak, fruit, butterscotch, really sweet but clean, caramel, light chocolate, and roasted nuts. For the price.... a steal.
Pale amber color with strong oak sweetness in the aroma along with sweet fruit (apple, cherry). Initial flavor is dominated by fruity sweetness rather than typical oaky chocolate or caramel. Very mild black pepper bite but flavor remains dominated by sweetness. The finish is relatively short. This XA is aged for 85 months so the price of $110 is pretty reasonable. But, there is really no complexity to the flavor. So, definitely something to try but not one I’d put in regular rotation. 12-24-2019 7th Annual Xmas XA tasting
Nose and taste of vanilla cream, a little bit of smoke, citrus and fruit, spice, earthy and mint. It's ok for the price of 27.99 but I wouldn't buy it for any higher, as there are others that are much better in that or a slightly higher price bracket.

Weird plastic aftertaste, no aroma and finish. I guess “smooth”.
