You really can’t smell the Tabasco. Maybe a hint of prickliness that exceptionally sensitive drinkers might pick up, but by and large the typical trappings of Dickel dominate: fresh wood, spice, honey, and a hint of ash. The deeper you breathe, the sharper things get, with the chile finally coming forth on the palate. It’s instantly warming with a black and red pepper sharpness on the upper palate then soothing with classic notes of caramel corn, vanilla ice cream, and butterscotch. Lots of sweetness to temper the heat; surely doctored. It’s all warming, not sharp, on the finish, though a certain vegetal character comes through, evoking the Tabasco proper.
