WhistlePig The Boss Hog 六: The Samurai Scientist

Amazing! (As it should be for $499/bottle!) I had a $10 sample...Amazing flavors.

very warm in your throat. i like it. warm and spicy. but not TOO spicy. don’t have many more notes

So much to unpack. Letting it rest went a long way. After a few minutes out came the Vanilla and dark fruit. A couple of drops of water later the experience deepened and flavors spread out

Hands down my favorite from this line. Amazing fruit and sweet in the nose! Taste hits those notes, possibly plum fruit, and adds some spice. A little more heat than the previous two, but finish is smooth and complex.

Never had a had a drink that latterly brought happiness to my face. This is the best I have ever had and I have bought 4 bottles.

Simply amazing. Quite a complex and sophisticated taste leaving you wanting more to see if you can find more of the hidden flavors. Don’t let the proof scare you, it’s smoother than it has any right to be.

Nose: Sourdough bread. Brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon. Orange blossom water. Strawberry, banana. Butter. Raisins. I'm reminded of the cinnamon, sugar, and butter mixture when you make cinnamon rolls. Apples. Mint. Stone fruits - peaches especially. Very rounded, warm, and sweet, but not cloying. Palate: Brown sugar, vanilla, prune, raisin, fig. Oak and tannin - drying and bitter, but in a very tasteful way. Mint, apple. Figs, peaches, mandarins, banana. Molasses. Finish is vanilla, stone fruits, oak, tannin, char - apple and peach pie both come to mind. Other notes: This is a special sip. Boss Hog V was polarizing to some, VI is much more approachable and friendly. The proof isn't off-putting, while the richness and depth of flavor are worthy of exploration.
