NOSE: Leathery dark fruit, deep oak, cocoa, baking spices, copper, citrus peels, toffee and some vanilla taffy. When I say dark fruit I mean the whole category: prunes, raspberries, blackberries, raisins, etc. This is a juicy, dark complex aroma I don't want to stop sniffing.
PALATE: Leathery dark fruit, deep oak, cocoa, graham, baking spices, copper, citrus peels, toffee and some vanilla taffy and mustiness. This is a near carbon copy of the aroma in the best possible way. The depth of this keeps pulling me back in.
FINISH: Long -> Leathery dark fruit, roasted nuts, oak and spice fade out to a fruity, spiced dark chocolate note that is the perfect ending to this dense beast.

@Anthology yeah—-release 2 seems easily available , but the reviews seem not as good as the first. I’ve had the first, and thought it was amazing
@Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington They released another batch this year. The specs are different so not sure if it’s same quality. I would imagine release 2 is readily available
Did you get to try the Yellowstone 2020 finished in Armagnac? That one I still see pop up from time to time whereas this has been elusive for over a year.
@PBMichiganWolverine that's a tough call depending on the Cigar Blend batch... I will say that this Labude is an absolute knock out!
@PBMichiganWolverine No, I haven't , didin't know it was. If I can I will though!
@TheWhiskeyJug have you had Joseph Magnus cigar blend? That’s Armagnac finished as well. Wondering how this compares to it. The price difference is substantial—with Nagnus being 4x the cost of this
