I picked this up as a cheap alternative to my standard Rittenhouse mixer. Stir the pot and senses. At $25, if the experiment goes sideways, it’s not with significant damage to the wallet. To quote an 80’s movie (I will leave you guessing at which 80’s movie), “Sometimes you have to say what the f***”!” An almost corn-based aroma with a touch of dill, pumpernickel, rye, vanilla, clove and nutmeg. The nose senses these aromas as if they were diluted. Upon first sip, a small wave of black pepper, cinnamon tingles the palate followed by a soft vanilla and caramel sweetness. Woody dryness slight tempers the sweetness. As it fades, spearmint infused wood lightly coates the palate with a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg. The finish is medium short and just like that it’s over. An average rye. Nothing that blows your skirt up. As a mixer, it didn’t quite wow me either in an old fashioned or Manhattan. Quote ordinary cocktail mixer. However, it is an affordable purchase. But all things being equal, the same dollar is better spent on Rittenhouse or Sazerac. Not sure I would repurchase. But, was a painless experiment. [82/100][$26][Tasted: 12/3/22]
