Made it to Pips! Extraordinary, as usual. The best beverages, omg. So much flavor. The vanilla and vermouth make this perfect. Left

LCI, medicine cherry notes + vermouth probably doesn't help here but I wouldn't mind revisiting.

Bottle courtesy of Linus. Viscous deep red pour. Heavy fleshy sweet/sour cherry nose with tons of wood, almonds, cinnamon, white wine & alcohol. Sweet, heavy fruity & wooden taste. Oily syrupy boozy mouthfeel. Incredibly complex! Leather, vanilla, mixed cherries, wood, green herbs, white grapes.
