The aroma offers a bouquet of heavy caramel, light oak, whiskey, butterscotch, and potent vanilla ice cream, with a subtle hint of ethyl. The agave note is muted but discernible. On the palate, the flavor profile includes cooked agave with a prune note, butterscotch, alcohol, whiskey, and pepperiness. Distinct oakiness, quickly passing candied yam, subtle fruitiness, and a pronounced doctored sugariness, which I find unappealing, are also present. The finish bounds with ultra sweetness that lingers throughout. Light oak, mild spice, minimal salinity, and a pepperiness that tingles without being harsh leading to a lasting whiskey tone. The overall sweetness is excessive, reminiscent of drinking liquid butterscotch and vanilla extract.
