Light and soft with minimal perceived alcohol; caramel and vanilla notes; light baking spices.

Exceptionally smooth despite high proof; floats across the palate softly from front through middle; lightly spiced candy character with root beer or sassafras-like notes reminiscent of Angostura bitters but not bitter; builds subtle spice on the back end.

Moderate spice development toward the back of the palate; drips down the sides of the tongue; muted spice compared to the bottled-in-bond.
