light garnet mixed with amber hues throughout.
Nose of strawberries, cranberries and sweet carolina southern tea. The spirits are integrated and really enhance the strawberries of the nose.
A great smooth and delicate mouthfeel of cedar and strawberries backed with toasty brown sugar. The finish ends a little bitterness like when one really overcooks caramel.

I 'm not sure if it was because it was standing next to a brawnier 63 Warres, but this felt like it started to fade around the 3 hour mark beginning to lose some of it's fruit.

Pop and poured and I'd recommend the same, this bottle is a treat.
