n:  Antique store full of hardwood furniture, perhaps with a little potpourri in the corner.  Like it.

p:  Lot of stuff in here.  Red oak, anise, cinnamon, rubber.   Runs a bit hot, of course, and the finish moves a little faster than you'd expect, but overall it's a lip smacker.

Nose:  Baking spices.

Palate:  Marzipan, gingersnaps, nutmeg...it's a dessert rye.

Finish:  Candied almonds,  cinnamon, mulling spices.

Nice stuff.

N:Pine, sap, bitter wax, pomegranate peel. Sawdust and chalk.

P:Dry pine woody notes. Butter salted toasted bread.   Dry and tannic.

F:Vegetal bitter finish. 

This has all the THH goodness but it was thin and didn't pack any ommph. It's hard to explain.  It didnt taste watered-down but the flavors weren't as pronounced and were lost in translation.  I tried an old 2011 sample (opened a few years) against a fresh 2011 bottle and the difference was negligable.
