Bottle shared at Your Old Droog Cellar Blast. Thanks to whoever brought this. Pours a dark brown to pitch black with a small bit of brown head that dissipates. Big maple syrup aromas with dark chocolate and molasses aromas. Palate is similar with some coconut as it warms. Rye whiskey rounds out the sweetness of the adjuncts with a peppery note at the finish. A bit thin overall, but flavors are there.
