On a trip to Europe a couple years ago, all we could find in the bar was JB white, JD black and Bulleit. After a few night in the same bar we drained the bottle. The barkeep said he had very little demand so he appreciated our clearing him out on inventory. After three days, we decided that Bulleit was pretty good. So when I saw a bottle of the 10 year stuff at my local Total Wine for $36 I decided to give it a try. The nose is a bit muted with citrus and caramel leading the way. This is 90 proof but I would have said 80 based on the nose. Lurking in there is some nutmeg pine. Color is on the light side for a 10 year 90 proof but the legs are nice and thick giving a nice mouth feel. The palate only slightly follows the nose with maple syrup and pine up front. It's quite sweet and slightly numbs the lip letting you know that 90 proof is there. That pine comes in strong on the finish but now there's caramel and some bitter oak. I don't remember the stuff in England being anything like this but then I've slept a few nights since and I was on vacation sipping with friends. As a side note. The Oliver Conquest is across the street and offers some 300 labels of gin. I have but 294 more to go. Cheers!!
