Medium amber color. Aromas and flavors of gingerbread, dry maple sap, leather bound parchment and rancio, and dried figs with a round, vibrant, bone-dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, elegant, very long finish with impressions of angelica root, sassafras tea with dried orange, walnut butter, and cherry balsamic dried cremini mushrooms. Upon pop and pour, this could use more fruit to balance the umami, resin-esque quality of the finish; however, with some extended aeration this rich and complex spirit truly opens up to become something special proving there is no faking the luxury and age this exhibits.
