Nose Pipe tobacco features prominently in the aroma with apple, cherry, nutmeg, and clove also coming through with subtlety. There are flashes of smooth creamy vanilla, a classic bourbon note highlighting the otherwise aged nose.
Palate A caramel note transforms from the nose, carrying a hint of the original vanilla with it. It has a deep, dark caramel sweetness on the front palate, and some spiced apple returns on the mid-palate. Whispers of butterscoth hard candy come through just before the swallow.
Finish An alien anise flavor blooms on the finish before being overtaken by black pepper and cinnamon. Subtle rye spice rounds it out. The finish is full bodied for a slow drink.
