2021 Balmo Neat Glencairn Appearance: This whiskey belongs in a library setting, with lots of rich mahogany and many leather bound books. Dark and rich in color. Syrupy texture that really costs the glass and sticks. Nose: Leather, oak, cloves, blood orange Palate: Grape soda pops into the palate, followed by a spicy oak and baking spices. Pretty strong spearmint note. Leather. Maybe a little milk chocolate as well. Finish: Baking spices, oak, spearmint and leather linger long after the whiskey is gone. Gentle Kentucky Hug accompanied the tasting notes, making for a delightful finish. Got to try this via sample from @trentoniousmaximus This is very good bourbon. I love how dark and rich this is, and it has the complexity to boot. Thankful to be able to have tried this gem!
