This stuff is just awesome. It has all kinds of fruits, spices, and heavy on some faint floralness and grassiness. It’s a weird combo of delicious slightly funky unaged rum, pear brandy, with some Agricole thrown in. I can say without a doubt this is my favorite thing from Privateer I have ever had, and will be seeking out a 2nd bottle.
