Neat. Neck pour. Bourbon Junkies’ Gulag Supplies pick. 104 proof.
On the nose, white chocolate and strawberries. Powdered sugar. Hint of leather. Nougat. Pepper. Not much personality on the nose.
Mouthfeel is nice and oily, super spicy. Lots of cinnamon and brown sugar immediately. Pepper picks up steam, this is a peppery and spicy gal. White chocolate again mid palate. The main event is the finish. The finish is rocking beyond expectation. Very spicy still, pepper and cinnamon with intense waves of caramel and fried elephant ears.
Wow, that finish. I was on the fence on this one, but the finish is straight fireworks. For only 104 proof, that is quite unexpected. And the finish comes in waves. While writing this paragraph, yet another wave of caramel came through well after my last sip. That knock out punch in the finish is it’s only move, but it’s a really good move.
