Nose is great in that's it's a dark caramel with hints of mint and cinnamon which is great. It does remind me of some of the great single barrel WhistlePig 10 barrel selects I've had in the past, but there's just something missing from this. It's tasty, but the flavors seem to come in waves versus being a nice cohesive whole. It's still tasty and a tiny bit of water helps, but don't add too much otherwise it makes it a bit too drying. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - Yes Would I buy a bottle? - Yes, for the price NOTE - All reviews are done without factoring in price.
