Still a really good pour, quite bourbon cask driven with the vanilla being omnipresent throughout. If the nose would prevail it's initial quality and volume this would definitely score a few points higher, but unfortunately…

Initially iodine, tar, some brine alongside clamshells (minerality), some beachfire smoke, some vanilla, a little yellow plums and red apples.
Flattens very much after a few sips, some baking spice with cinnamon, the vanilla is now more prominent, a little stale white wine fruitiness, some hemp rope.

Fruity-sweet but still dry arrival, some hessian, iodine, brine, some bonfire smoke, some clamshells again, vanilla, again some yellow plum (Reineclaude) and red apple fruitiness. Mid palate a big red chewing gum spiciness develops with a little hotness, some baking spices as well with nutmeg involved.
Bodywise big, voluptuous even, with a nice balance and good depth, but somehow a little watery.

Some iodine, some hessian, drying with some bitterness (Campari?!), some baking spices with cinnamon & nutmeg, vanilla of course, hints of red apples. Short to medium, the iodine & hessian build up nicely and stay for some time.
