I purchased this bottle a few years ago during a visit to Belgium and I recall being pleasantly surprised, however it has been a long time since I have had a drink of this. In true Belgian fashion, I am tasting this using a Gouden Carolus whisky glass. I'm not sure if all Belgian distilleries follow in the Belgian brewery footsteps of individual glasses, but this is a nice touch. Nose: Sweet fruit to start, followed up by the sweet rich oak from the first fill Bourbon barrels. Caramel comes through as well, intertwined with notes of moist leather. Going back in I get some hints of black licorice. Palate Very smooth beginning building into quite a full flavor that blooms with apricots and hints of cherry. Nice malt flavours ramp up after this and extend into the finish Finish Surprisingly long and full. Very satisfying in fact. Lingering malt, bitter lemon peel, and a rich dark chocolate carry on, with a nice tingle in the middle of the hard palate and the sides of the tongue. Overall, I would not hesitate to grab another bottle of this one once this one is empty, especially since I have 2 of their glasses... The only difficulty will be finding it. I am impressed with the overall richness and finish despite being a minimum 3 years old. The 46% ABV does help this though, and I'm happy it was bottled higher than 40%.
