David Nicholson 1843

On the pour, the nose is straight honey, caramel, butterscotch. After opening up, it’s all caramel, honey, molasses, corn, vanilla and some baking spices. LOn some whiffs there is a touch of wintergreen. The taste begins with a sweet, then alcohol and cinnamon burn that goes to butter, butterscotch, honey. A touch of astringency in the cheeks, a meaty caramel, and finishes buttered honey. Very very late there is a touch of vegetables, maybe canned green beans and cinnamon.

Really good wheater. 100 proof so it gives some heat but super smooth. Great neat, Great rocks, not tons going on but a great pour for $35 a bottle.
