Aged tobacco, cream of wheat, and camphor are primary flavors. Secondary notes of hardwood, black walnut, raisin, date, and horehound. Floral and sweet mineral develops on the palate in aftertaste.
It took me awhile to get into this one. It needs some space and some attention to fully reveal itself. That said, it is pretty complex when you allow it to develop.
