-
Nose:
Sweet honey, tangerines. Ethanol, confectioners sugar. Leather, toffee, pepper.
-
Taste:
Thick, rich, loaded with honey, syrupy prunes. A good deal of heat, but not punishing. Lots of tobacco, musty earthy basement notes, pipe tobacco, figs. Currants, blackberry. Some sulphur.
-
Finish:
Long, more heat here but still in check. Pipe tobacco, pepper, honey, figs and date fruits. That tangerine note is back, but theres some cocoa and cardamom.
-
Overall:
Overall, big, brash, and flavorful. Not a sulphur bomb like some other releases have been, and loaded with a flavor I really am enjoying.
