An evening of tasting, this was #1 of 6.
Right out of the bottle there was a pop of cherry, marshmallow and cream brûlée on the nose. I didn’t spend as much time allowing it to open up as it deserved but there was whiskey to drink...
The palate was so velvety soft, almost comforting. The palate was loaded with cotton candy, anise, and a hint of oak but nothing tannic or bitter whatsoever. This all led to a medium vanilla finish, nothing fancy.
I live the wax-covered screw top and unassuming label outside of being “VERY SPECIAL.” That said, I assume these are on their way to being dead and gone but it was very special to sit and sip with a friend. Would easily put it against an Eagle Rare if by myself.
