  • It’s not massively complex, but it’s delicious and has just the right heat and linger for the proof.

  • Nose:

    Strong clove. Some cinnamon (like red hots). Brown sugar, burnt maple. Pinesol. its bold and spicy

  • Taste:

    Clove, turkey spice, caramel and toffee are big here. Some heat and some brown sugar.

  • Finish:

    Medium in length with some heat. I wish it were a little sweeter to balance but the clove is big and strong here. Less of that tobacco, cocoa and orange peel make me think this is a more modern sample.

  • Overall:

    Overall, this is quintessential WT101. There's lots of baking spice, some pleasant heat, and some big toffee sweetness. I'm guessing this is something more modern, from the 00s (vague, I know), but I've been surprised before. WT is really quite interesting that it can be all over the board. I could also be an outlier.
