Deep oaky caramel notes with a toasted quality. Earthy character reminiscent of cremini mushroom. Vanilla and oak prominent. Dark fruit notes suggesting dried strawberries or prunes. Alcohol present at 115 proof but not overpowering.
Viscous and oily mouthfeel. Not much up front, building toward the back of the palate. Sugary sweetness with vanilla. Peppery spice notes. Earthy undertones continuing from the nose. Buttery quality with Werther's original candy character—spicy and buttery together.
Not heavy or particularly long; medium-length finish. Nice Kentucky hug with a slight bite to the tongue. Some residual spice on the palate.
