This is a thinker bottler… Nose: Light with a hint of char Pallet: Overall very smooth for 117 proof with notes of cherry. Finish: Full bodyness comes through on the finish, dry with a nice linger. Been close to a year since I last had this, smooth for 117 proof, light nose, cherry on the pallet with a dry lingering finish. For the rarity and price, I haven’t been impressed but it has gotten better. Will need to try another expression.
