Nose
Floral and cinnamon-forward; peppery spice; burnt sugar reminiscent of fair cotton candy; sweet caramel and vanilla base.
Palate
Black pepper and cinnamon spice (Jolly Rancher cinnamon character); not aggressive; sweet backbone with spice on the back end; no 'Kentucky hug' from sweet mash production.
Finish
Long finish with lingering sweetness and spice; pleasurable and draws you back for another sip.
