A new friend. Wish this could be a daily drinker. I’ve had EHT SmB before and loved it instantly- I finally got ahold of this SiB bottle. It is very comparable to Blantons original to be honest. I don’t know if I can put my bottle above SmB or justify the price increase but this is worth every penny of MSRP and instant purchase under $100. Nose: light wood. Fruit tea. Cherry peel. Toasted apple. Palate: fruity cherry. Woodsy oak. Almost floral. Light. Sweet. Hints of spice. Orange flavored wood on 2nd taste. Dry wood taste. Finish: wet finish. We’ll balanced and lingering. A little bit of spice. Will enjoy the bottle on special occasions and share with friends.
