Awful. You musn't order it under any circumstances because I need all the rest. It's fantastic, excellent, the taste is an exceptional rush. Tasting notes: Nose is rich, lemon verbena or lemongrass, mild underlying spice. Slight hint of paprika. Initial tasting sensation is the cask-strength power. Hints of sherry on the palate, with slight orange/apricot taste. Finish, Mild smoke, long complex after-notes. Hint of marjoram in the finish. Towards the very end, dry oak.
