“Love the nose—chocolate, booze, dried cherries. The thin body with layers of toffee, coconut, vanilla, and dark fruit struggles to stand up to the cacophony. Fruits linger into a fairly sweet finish, amplified by the barrel spirit notes. Rich, complex, and interesting, but at the expense of cohesion.”
