Tastes

The nose has promise, Carmel apple, nice spice and oak. Smells sweet and you can almost sense some age. The palette is not as pleasing as the nose, but is still good. It’s a bit hot, but the apple and oak comes out. It finishes really sweet and lingers longer than other reviews suggest. It’s a what I classify as a thinker. It’s got some depth to it, and you pick up the glass for more. I will say I was very excited for this bottle, and hunted it for a while. Idk if it was because I was so excited to try it or what, but it did not live up to the hype I built up for myself. I still really like it, just not what I expected. I get the limited release pricing, but probably more of an 80 dollar bottle

Classic sherry finished whiskey, dried fruit, great nose, but needs to be aged a bit longer. The ethanol on the palette is a little much, but I enjoy drinking this one.

Same sort of start on the nose as the 2021, chocolate raspberry at first, but if you let us rest a bit it tones down to a silky leather. Mouth is hot, a little sweet, dried orchard fruit, a bit tart and lots of tobacco and leather. Finish is bit bitter, and the burn lingers on the tongue for a bit. Not a bad pour at all.

I let sit 15 mins. Chocolate raspberry on the nose and first sip. Hot but sweet. Second sip gets the heat but more tobacco and leather. Dried fruit. Finish is long and hot on the top of the tongue. Overall not great but a fun sip. I don’t think I have had chocolate raspberry on the nose. Taste like one of those Christmas chocolates going through puberty while you drink it.

Hot, but sweet. Vanilla and cinnamon. Maybe a drop of water. Nice mouth feel. Drinker
