It starts off innocuously with a maple syrup color, and a pretty, complex and subtle scent: honey, vanilla, a sight medicinal tinge and faint clover notes. It feels silky on the tongue and at first, the flavors reflect caramel, burnt orange and a whisper of smoke, but then a mouth warming wave of tannic bite sweeps over all and lingers for a good long time.
