Thought about digging up something special for #300, but more organic to review the any-day pour that ended up in my glass tonight before the bottle ends up empty. Cheers all!
A honeyed orange. Slightly above average weight. Like the bottle and packaging.
Nose is vanilla, jasmine, and sugar syrup. Orange blossom. Fresh green bean. Butter cookie.
The palate brings chocolate orange and vanilla custard. Super creamy for a 10-year. A bit of aspartame tang. Roasted pineapple. Beeswax. Can taste the bourbon cask and a bit of youthful barley.
Pretty good - would reach for it again. Nice and direct flavor, good body, but pretty monotone profile with some sharpness. Brash but promising. Not worth it at everyday retail but I like it around $50.
