Nose: Sweet ripe fruit aromas, both dark and light fruits, with a zingy sharp note. Jammy ripe dark fruit, maybe cherries? And aromas of fallen apples and pears in the orchard, starting to ferment on the ground. Vanilla, allspice and powdered ginger. A very intriguing combination. Flavors: Spice and heat blaze out of the starting gate: cinnamon, pepper, ginger and ethanol. (48% ABV). Some rum flavors, dark raisins and tannins on the back palate. The kicky spices and slight bitterness do not overwhelm the fruit and agave found in the aromas. I certainly don’t hate this - it is just a very assertive profile. Finish: A bit of astringency. On tasting a second time a few weeks later - all the aromas and flavors aligned in a more attractive fashion. I bumped the score a point or two.
