I think in trying to make a blend to pair with a cigar, they ended up with a blend that tastes like a cigar, but not in an especially positive way. It's too oaky, bitter and tannic for my tastes to really proclaim its greatness but it is a fairly solid sourced MGP cask. Not terrible, also not great.

House Review
Nose:
Sweet cinnamon, vanilla, fig and date fruit. Very sweet honey, cinnabon icing, clove and faint tobacco.
Taste:
Medium thickness, no heat. Faint oakiness, pepper, tobacco and clove are very prominent. Very little fruit here, but there is noticeable vanilla character also.
Finish:
Medium, oaky, spicy pepper, lots of oaky bitterness.
Overall:
