Batch 21-08: Nose: Very strong alcohol, as is expected. Sweet harvest fruits, like apple are present, as well as some mild pepper. Taste: Very sweet, less fruity than the nose. Mild peanutty taste. Very, very thick feel; it coats the inside of your mouth. Finish: Vanilla kicks in on the back end, and follows down your throat. The heaviness of the alcohol stays, however. Overall, a very good example of what cask strength can do. I do recommend, however, drinking with an ice cube to thin out the drink, the heaviness can be overwhelming.
