NOSE: Thick notes of candy corn, butterscotch, caramel flavored coffee syrup (Torani) and raw alcohol come busting out of the glass like a pissed off bull out of a chute. Give it a swirl or three, and a minute or two to open up, and some lighter notes of maple syrup, vanilla, waffle cones, sugar and corn syrup emerge, but are tempered and suppressed by the those initial four.
PALATE: Buttershots, burnt caramel, raw grain and Everclear come at ya like a kick to the face from a buckin’ bronc. It takes some doing, but once you bust this bronc some subtle notes of dark honey, raw cane sugar, cinnamon, maple syrup and edible flowers slowly emerge like timid rodeo clowns from a barrel.
FINISH: Grain alcohol takes over along with a cloying chemically artificial caramel, imitation vanilla, watery molasses, butterscotch and maple that lasts far too long.
