Earthy notes, i.e., mushroom as my first impression. Really enjoy it...nice balanced flavor palette, will buy again if it's available.

Very enjoyable. Alcohol seems high but plum and blueberry still dominate. Dry finish.

This is Aged in Rum Barrels and has a very strong odor to it. It reminds me of cigars.

Sampled this at our local liquor store and ended up buying the bottle, really like the bold flavor and the hint of rum. Will buy again. Note it is 14.5% alcohol, so it can sneak up on you .
