Corsair Buck Yeah

After a semi-quick stint to Maryland, was anxious to open this bottle after seeing on the shelf in a local liquor store. This is my first Corsair purchase. They have intrigued me in that they seem to be experimenting and they don't seem too concerned about trying different and unique combinations, somewhat similar to High West. The nose is somewhat unique with some bourbon traits however softer with (de)shelled pistachios, cocoa, clove and a touch of oak. Excellent nose. A vanilla sweetness initially arrives and gives way to a hint of raspberry with oak and nutmeg. The palate is left slightly woody of cedar or pine with spearmint and nutmeg. A teaspoon of water rounds the edges and tones the feel of the dram and is preferable without as it looses a bit of character. This is perfectly suited for a late October or November/Thanksgiving fall harvest time season. Very enjoyable and slightly different. I believe this is a limited edition, so if you find one I don't think the purchase will be a disappointment. [Dried glass: cedar and vanilla][$53][88/100][Opened: 8/29/16]
