Tasting Notes
Nose
Sweet, burnt sugar with citrus and spice, clove or cinnamon.
Palate
Theres a bit of burn, but dont be fooled into thinking this is a hot pour. It drinks smooth, but tongue-tingly spicy. On my initial sips nearly all I was getting on the palate was intense, nondescript spicy tingle. I added a couple drops (and I mean literally two tiny drops of water) and the glass really opened up. Spice is still the star of the show, but its a discernible sweet cinnamon spice (think cinnamon gum from the checkout line at a co-op grocery store) that pops into black pepper. As the tingle fades, it leaves behind a relaxed caramel sweetness that prepares the palate for the next sips incoming spice.
