Tasted in a Glencairn spirits nosing glass. Aroma - Neat - Weird! , raw peanuts in the shell, very dense fudge, sharp ethanol nip and fried plantain banana. Adding a splash of water . . . This takes a turn toward the confectionary; Buttery candy-corn, cordial cherry and mild black tea leaf develops. Taste - Neat - Equally weird! , briny arrival, surprisingly gentle at 50.5%, again with plantain banana and unsweetened fudge (something like baker’s chocolate but more toward fudge). Adding a splash of water . . . A cacao nibs character has developed, bordering near espresso bean. Final thoughts - This is a funky little bourbon! It’s very complex and it reminds me of something unique, like a Campbell Town scotch. This would be an excellent purchase for the experienced bourbon drinker looking for something out of the ordinary!
