The nose on this one caught me off guard, it's light and airy, almost delicate for something sitting at 120 proof. I get vanilla cake on the front and center with a hint of ripe fruit lingering behind it. Very solid and inviting.
The palate is where this bottle flips the script. WAY more dark and rich than I was expecting coming off that nose. I get a ton of mixed raspberry and blackberry, it's like biting into fresh dark berries. The balance here is outstanding and the mouthfeel is awesome. Thick, chewy, coats the palate.
The finish ends with a lot of caramel sweetness and leaves a nice tingle on the tongue!
Overall this is a phenomenal pour and a great bottle for the summer months.
