Noses of young cherry, hickory, lacquer and paint varnish.  Some of that comes through on the palate with dark licorice and black pepper.  Nice lingering mentholated finish.

n: buttery brown sugar; like a green apple pie before it goes into the oven. Caramel, soft honey, fresh baked wheat bread. Sense of old wood and nostalgia.

t: This is so delicious and good that it's hard to take notes. I am amazed that it's so easy to drink at such a fantastic high ABV. Middle is where the sweetness comes in, but also a tart yellow cherry shows. Finish lasts forever and has hints of red cinnamon candy, caramel popcorn balls, and vanilla chews. Great booze!

[A-/A] 

n:  lighter nose that opens with time.  Sawdust and cedar.

p:  Caramel and orange oil.  Semisweet. Velvety and semisweet
