Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

Potpourri aromas of crushed, dried flowers, graphite shavings, dried pomegranate, and fresh Madagascar vanilla yield to a full-bodied, dry dram with loads of berry coulis, stewed cherry, brown butter, grated cinnamon, and a lengthy, pepper-laced finish that has a slight tannic grip.
