Little Book Chapter 6: To the Finish

I had this with a cigar at Blend cigar bar in Indy. I found it to be very rich and smooth. I loved it and wanted to consume the entire bottle as each sip was such a savory morsel. It was addicting.

This tastes like a forest fire to me

I'd compare it to a spicy herbal tea mixed with bourbon. Not necessarily my "cup of tea" ;) but still pretty good, overall.

Bright and vibrant, lightly tarnished brass in color. Nose is loades with layers of smoke. Its not all smoke, and not totally overwhelming though. Sifting through the smoke, there's definitely hints of apple hand pies and ripe stone fruit and something earthy/herbal going on. Its loosened up a little with a few drops of water, yet retains a good deal of the heat that rises shortly after a sip and lasts well into the finish. There's a subtle and wonderful malt character that brings me back for another taste It's really a quality product and enjoyable... the nose and flavor profile are just not what im looking for if i'm going to pony up the cash.

This ones hot but tasty

Tea, smoked, earth, getting a bit of sweet wine and plum, leather. Very complex, powerful at 117 proof.
