General description

leather jacket smells. sugars. plum/nectarine. interesting neat. easy and mellow with water. high alcohol intense heat neat. to enjoy I recommend water addition.

Nose

leather. brown sugar. spices. char. stone fruits. with some water, char more present

Palate

alcohol heat. quite sweet. the burn numbs out after a while yet nice mouth coating. not truly oily though. viscous. not yet ripe plums or nectarines. salt. added some water, it mellows quite a bit. becomes oily somehow.

Finish

some heat...it lasts. sweet at the end too. water addition shortens the finish.
