Amber color. Aromas and flavors of Betadine, leather and pipe tobacco, all spice, ginger, and orange, and baked cherries on bread pudding with a round, lively, dry medium body and a warming, complex, long finish conveying accents of cigar box, chocolate, cherry, orange, and juniper berry, maple syrup on smoked bacon, and butterscotch and lapsang. Complex and delicious with the fruit leading and the mildly smoky savory aspect lingering on forever; it has a story to tell and commands a listen.
