I guess this is the name?
Nose - Super soured dickel notes with some hints of chocolate to start. As it develops I get orange citrus elements, almost an orange vitamin chew. It's now transitioning into more complex citrus with some coca powder. At the 170 I paid, lets just say this is a massive fail on the nose, but it's interesting.
Taste - So I'm influenced but lets go with my first thoughts and then all I can taste. At first you get this citrus bomb with odd oak and dickel vitamins. All this is on this crazy velvety mouth feel. And then it finishes in creamy milk chocolate. The second pour is more nutty almost hazelnut coffee comes through, then citrus and chocolate. Now...after influence, my god it's heavy orange citrus bitters.
I should wait longer to review this but both times I've poured this, I've had different feelings. This time the citrus is way higher, last time it was way more chocolate. I'm honestly not sure how i feel about this, but I have to give this a score.
So price - this SHOULD be about 130-140, but for some reason my store wanted 170 and I bought it....I'm dumb.
Watch it be on sale in a week for retail....they did the same on ferrand.
This is the most unique bourbon I've ever had. Coffee, weird bourbon, and chocolate. The blending here and work done with the finishing is really interesting. This is a must try, not even for the quality but how unique it is.
Score? Oh lord....lets go with a 2.5. It's enjoyable, but confusing. I can't even start to tell you if you should or shouldn't buy it. I'm glad I got it because it's crazy weird. I think many will hate it. I think many will love it. I can't imagine this won't create a lot of extreme bias among vocal people, but I think a lot of us are going to be confused lol.
