Deep oak with bakery shop character, walnut brownie notes, chocolate, raisin sweetness, hint of tobacco and older oak on the back end. Alcohol present but nose doesn't attack aggressively.
Buttery entry without immediate sting, fudge brownie with walnuts, dark chocolatey notes with slight bitterness, cinnamon gummy bears, cherry hints, baking spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice) with Christmas-time character.
Long, lingering finish that sticks with you and slows the sipper down. Deep Kentucky hug that kicks in strong and hangs for an extended period, like a preacher's sermon that never ends.
