So I picked this up at a local liquor store and I enjoyed it so much I bought another bottle. So on to the taste. The taste is good I get a bit of dark berry flavor I want to say blackberry but it could also be because I had blackberry pie about 45 minutes ago, I also get some really good oakiness and vanilla hit, kind of reminded me of vanilla extract. The finish was nice and long I got some cinnamon and nutmeg. I do a lot of baking so this is what i relate the taste to. So for my overall review I would say 8 on the u/t8ke scale
