"Reviewers describe the aroma as featuring caramel, vanilla, dark chocolate, and various fruits such as berries, bananas, and plums, though some note solvent, varnish, or strong ethanol fumes. The palate is characterized by flavors of dark chocolate, stewed and dried fruits, warm baking spices, and oak, with opinions on the body ranging from thin to thick and creamy. Most reviewers report a long, warming finish with lingering oak, spice, and bitter cocoa, although a few detect bitter, dry, or flat qualities. While tasters agree on the prominent presence of fruit, spice, and heavy cask influence, they disagree on the spirit's heat, with some finding it remarkably smooth and others describing an intense alcohol burn that requires water or ice."
