Aroma - A bit perplexing to be honest. Very unique aroma, and not something that I have really experienced before. I pick up on cocoa powder and a very musty-funk. As it opens up.. I’m getting more of a “green” profile and tons of floral notes. Some type of herbal note (maybe green tea??). Strong artificial chemical aroma too.
Taste - Better than the nose.. That is for sure. Lots of chocolate here. Old oak is pushing through here as well. There is a fruit loops/ fruity pebbels note as well. I’m getting quite a bit of rye on the finish.. lots of spices.
Overall - (for the record. BCS is one of my all time favorite brews.. it’s not what it used to be ever since InBev bought GI out.. but I still look forward to it every year)
Try before you buy. This one, although decadent at times, is massively overpriced. Very grateful to try to this whisky but I have to be brutally honest.. I’d have a hard time pulling the trigger at $100 for this one let alone +$160 (#moneygrab)
