Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

Bright bronze/copper color. Smells stunningly of malted milk balls, tropical fruits (guava, papaya), cornbread, unsweetened breakfast cereal, Graham crackers. Taste is alluringly sweet, sappy, maple-like, biscuity, honeyed, spicy (clove plays the major role), with a curious nuance of mustard seed. Finishes long, toasty, woody, supple.
