  • Despite my notes, this still feels pretty one note. That note is spicy and oaky, with a little sweetness thrown in. I like it, but I wish there was a little more to it.

  • Nose:

    Maple syrup, rich oak. Cherries, cocoa. Lots of nice earthy tannins. Some honey and some tea leaves. Real interesting.

  • Taste:

    Thick and syrupy. Rich and spicy. Very very oaky. Earthy with lots of clove, cinnamon and even a hint of cardamom. Heat is big and bold but not punishing.

  • Finish:

    Dry and bitter. Good deal of heat. Some nice maple and brown sugar but it quickly becomes tannic.

  • Overall:

    Despite my notes, this still feels pretty one note. That note is spicy and oaky, with a little sweetness thrown in. I like it, but I wish there was a little more to it.
