375ml bottle. Pours a dark purple color. The aroma features mild cherries, vanilla and a trace of whiskey barrel. The taste is a big blast of vanilla and cherries in the forefront, the whiskey barrel adds a nice complexity on the back end. The palate is full and luscious. The finish is insanely long with some sticky honey. Overall: This stuff rocks
