My wiser but much-less-well-endowed friend told me that this was the turd in the Whiskey Baron collection punchbowl. (One day I’m just going to start tagging this friend directly. I bet he’d get a kick out of that.)
Nose is banana bread, cut grass, roses, lemon, milk.
Body is cream, sugar, lemon, orange, caramel apple. There’s something harsh too I’m struggling with figuring out. Closest I can get is orange rind.
Finish is gentle. There’s brine, sugar, chocolate. Orange and lemon carries through.
This is tasty. I prefer the Bond & Lillards, but I think this one is better than WB Saffell. I’m not sure what a gripe with this one would be, other than the obvious high price for a 375 mL.
