The nose shows vanilla and brown sugar with char and hints of butterscotch, light citrus, and honey. The palate is sweet and creamy up front, withvanilla, charred oak, floral notes, and toffee. The finish may be the real star here, lingering with cloves, bergamot oil, and big rye spice. Bottled at 55.55% abv.
