NOTES:
Crisp. Effervescent. Spiced sweetly. Consistent. Tangy mulling spices, a white pepper kicker. Cushioned thinly but well in cocoa butter. Undertones are a slight coconut, pale nuttiness, malty leather. Underbelly is a chicken coop & bright earth, laid out not far-under the top-notes. Lightly-toasted cereal grains.

Clean citrus finish; an orange twist w/ accompanying spices. Sweet but never-ever cloying. Thin not wimpy... sinewy. An excellent aperitif. Exceptionally balanced & mellow-smooth. Well-rounded, w/ neat zestiness. Not complex, but never boring -- a well-trained delivery. Goodly nuanced for all its dancing bits. 

Razor-sharp burn-line grows thick-sheathed silver ash to a dense couple inches at a time. Very firmly-rolled. Excellent draw, smooth & even w/ just the slightest tick of resistance. Seams & cap are tight as a sexy tiger. Nice smoky-smoke out-put of a subtle brightly luxuriant spiced leather aroma w/ slight fusty attachment.

FINAL GRADE: A-
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
