Member Ratings and Notes

Sku

Nose: Caramel, rye, pine and oak.
Palate: Quite sweet with mint notes, some what diluted.
Finish: Mostly sweet.

Sweet and straightforward, inoffensive but lacking in complexity.

Tim

N: Oak and spice initially. Some grains evident but not strong. Mild sweetness - light vanilla, slight marshmallow. The oak gets slightly sharp and has elements of a pine scent. Powdered sugar.

P: Medium thick, slightly warm. Moderately tannic - wood strong on the palate, light nutmeg, slight maple syrup. Faint cherries. Black tea.

F: Warm and lingering. Some light cinnamon. Cherries. Black tea and rich wood.

It's not bad but the flavors seem restrained.
