The nose is surprisingly attractive, with strong bread yeast, pleasant mint, vanilla, and warm spice. Unfortunately, the palate completely falls apart for me. It turns harsh, gasoline-like, extremely astringent, bitter, and almost unbearable. The finish only reinforces that unpleasant solvent-like bitterness, reminding me negatively of Jack Daniel’s and Crown Royal. Excellent aroma, but the drinking experience is a major mismatch for my palate.
