I’m impressed with the way these store picks can tweak the OG BT. This will be a side-by-side to really see how this little guy differs. Nose is extremely floral. I’m not certain that’s a note I normally pull from BT, but it’s perfume, roses, fresh cut grass. Melon. The other main BT notes are there. There’s apple, lemon, sugar, cream. But that perfume is pungent. Almost like it’s higher proof. Body is like licking a bouquet of flowers. That is intense. The apple I get from normal BT is hidden, and there’s usually a nutty note. Not here. 100% flowers and perfume. With effort I would add to that a weak butterscotch note. Finish is gentle, with mild cinnamon, chocolate, and cherries. Cane sugar lingers. Cinnamon buzz feels good. This is my favorite part of the drink. I’m incentivized to drink slowly and in moderation. Where normal BT is comparatively flat with lingering nutty notes, this one shines on the finish. The combination of pungent aromas and cinnamon buzz added to a known entity (BT) plays tricks on you. It makes you think this is at least 100 proof, and going back to BT, I am disappointed with that comparative flatness. I can’t say all the notes are done to perfection, and I’ve had other picks I prefer. However, this is still fascinating, and I’m sad to see it go.
