Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

Deep auburn/henna color is seriously pretty and brandy-like. Nose is chockfull of ambrosial scents, from fruitcake to candied almond to cinnamon to brown butter to worn saddle leather - lots happening here aromatically. Taste profile features rich flavors of bacon fat, BBQ sauce, honey, maple syrup, brown rice, brown sugar, dried orange rind. Lovely aftertaste turns tobacco-like.
