Nose: vanilla/ caramel/ butter / faint fruit note / hint of citrus-orange / tea / baking spice / nutmeg/ chocolate/ molasses/ Taste: oak / vanilla/ caramel/ baking spice / hint of fruit / orange peel / tea / hint of spearmint/ chocolate/ molasses/ cream soda Finish: low viscosity mouthfeel/ not much texture…doesn’t coat the palate/ lingering oak bitterness fights to be dominant; some sips are sweeter than others, but the imbalance and lingering bitterness really take the wheel on this drive. This anejo has some good notes on the nose and the sweetness of vanilla and caramel try to fight back, but the oak is the lead actor in this performance, and it’s not interested in sharing the stage with the other tastes.
