Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

Light topaz, wheat field golden color. Toasted marshmallow opening scent is strong and dominant but that eventually fades into a more toasted cereal fragrance with hints of dried pineapple. Flavor highlights the alcohol heat, but in a manner that's engagingly sappy and maple-like. Aftertaste is toasted, honeyed, cola-like, campfire warm.
