N: Moderately spirity, some grain and sweetness - light toffee. Some dry wood. Hints of furniture polish. Light creamy vanilla note.

P: Warming and somewhat sweet, moderatey coating. Good wood influence and some hints of black cherry. White pepper. Toffee, a hint of maple syrup.

F: Warming, leaving hints of black cherry, some slightly dry wood. Short finish.
 
Much more developed on the palate. The nose is the weak link but it's pretty decent otherwise. It's a C+ just because this isn't worth seeking out as is. Get the nose dialed in and it's a different story.
