Nose - brown sugar, salted caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, graham cracker, orange zest, banana, clove, dark chocolate, toasted oak, black cherry, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - caramel, vanilla, clove, anise, caramelized banana, chocolate, cherry, apple, marshmallow, sweet oak, brown sugar, moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium short with caramel, baking spice, and oak flavors. After my previous Nulu encounter, I’m skeptical that this will deliver a better experience. Well here goes their second chance. The nose is promising. It’s rich and creamy. Dark fruits, chocolate, and toasted oak make for a nice bouquet. The palate is similar, with more sweetness and rye spice carrying though the finish. It’s a bit like a high rye version of Woodford Double Oaked. This is much better than the Nulu Single Barrel I reviewed a while back. There’s some youthful brightness and it has a relatively thin mouthfeel, but this is a decent dram. I’m not rushing out to buy a bottle, but I’ll definitely have a more open mind if I come across more of their releases in the future. Many thanks to @pkingmartin for providing the generous sample!
