Tastes

3.5 stars if I'm being picky. Good round flavor.

First tried in 2013. I found it superb. Picked up another bottle in 2015. Still find it even heat, full flavor rich and yes oily and balanced.

excited to try this one

I love the scent. I taste vanilla sweetness, no syrupy viscosity. Just a tinge of burn. Good straight. Will have to try on ice. Sweetness of real sugar cola wasn't a great match. It demands bitters. Edit: new bottle and for sipping with a sugary cola it blends well. Must depend on the weather. Today, it is rainy.

Good. Even maybe really good. But coming from Bookers more fiery finish; maybe I'm looking for something with a little more panache.
