Neat. Sample.
The nose on first impression hit me wrong. Got a wet dog note. Whenever I have a moment like that I assume it’s me and not the whiskey. Take a break, smell my elbow and try to reset. Going back in, there is a mustiness there but it’s not as bad as that first whiff. Chocolate peanut butter cup seems to be the dominate flavor Discover is going for when their own distillate is involved. There is some interesting fresh coconut here. Vanilla pudding pie. Inviting nose but nothing special.
Mouthfeel is average, tad watered down feeling. Taste matches the nose. That fresh coconut appears upfront, almost like a coconut milk even. Transitions to the chocolate, hint of nut, ends on a vanilla milk shake. You know, I am going back to the mouthfeel. Initial impression was off, but subsequent sips have a creaminess to it.
This is kind of unique. There is a vanilla coconut Silk - milk alternative. This reminds me of sipping on that. Odd description for a bourbon but I dig it. I don’t think I would buy a bottle of this for myself. Something fun to explore once but I don’t anticipate craving it.
