Nose (out of 2): Beautiful. Cherry turnover, cinnamon sugar on toasted almonds. Strawberry jam. Molasses. Hint of banana. Floral, honey. Very warm. 1.5.
Taste (out of 4): Banana bread, hitting the notes of banana, cinnamon, bread and nuttiness. Cherry. Milk chocolate. Mint. 3.0.
Finish (out of 1): Super woody, dry. A little banana (giggity). Cherry cough syrup. Least pleasant part of this drink. 0.25.
Cohesiveness/Complexity (out of 1): Very cohesive with the fruit-forward desert vibe all the way through. Not overly complex, so half credit there. 0.75.
Value (out of 2): Goes into value at 5.5 out of 8, so a well-above average pour. This was a free sample from my friend, Joe Decadence, so the price was right. But if you’re looking to pay $150-$200, I think that’s way too much given the bitter finish. Great nose and very solid flavor, but the ending really hinders this from being great all the way through.
Overall: 6.0 out of 10.
You’re getting good juice, but it’s hard to justify it at the price.
