    Fruity and floral with caramel, cinnamon, sweet corn, light baking spice notes, not quite rich or full, but not thin either, medium finish with a little burn.

    Cachaça tasting with some buddies. My first experience with this beautiful liquor. Tried to take notes of my impressions as I was sampling. Vanilla and oak, quite bourbon like, warm, sweet, honey, spicy and a medium finish.

    Cachaça tasting with some buddies. My first experience with this beautiful liquor. Tried to take notes of my impressions as I was sampling. Bitter and kinda harsh at first. A drop of water made a big difference. Vanilla, banana bread, spices, faint wood, mild short finish.

    This is an easy drinker for sure, quaffable even, with no sharp edges, mild vanilla, fruity notes and hints of spice. Not complex by any means, but enjoyable.
    23.0 USD per Bottle

    Sweet, spicy, bold and viscous with oak, vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, baking spices, flambéed marshmallow, hints of orange, cherry and tobacco and lingering heat. This bourbon is delicious.

    A significant step up from regular MM with sweet vanilla, cherry, leather and baking spices notes. The finish is pleasant with a bit of smoldering spices and snickerdoodle on the back of the tongue.

    Well, I keep drinking these drams too fast to take decent notes. Extremely drinkable. Love the mix of short bread, sweet Malaga wine notes and spices. I believe I’ll have another.

    Wow, fantastic with vanilla, caramel, cocoa, tropical fruits, baking spices and dark roast coffee on the nose through the finish. Palate is oily with a little astringency. There’s a little bitterness on the finish. Only a 50ml sample. Will definitely seek out a full bottle.
