Initial Aroma is totally a Mounds bar. Dark chocolate and coconut. This gives way to coffee later. Dark brown sugar ever present. Have to say I'm starting to be able to recognize the Heaven Hill flavor profile. Later a meatiness in the Aroma. Flavor before water is chocolate, caramel, fresh ground black pepper. Dark sugar. Drops of water have this explode in both flavor and herbaceousness. (sp?) More spice and definitely a lot of mint on the scene. Coffee just below the surface. A touch more Creamy as it opens. Almost epic, but the finish just isn't there. Doesn't last long and fades a bit too quick. Still a great Bourbon. But so close to epic.
