I don’t think @LeeEvolved is going to enjoy this one because it needs a TON of one thing he evades at all cost. H2O. Lol. The nose is a little off putting at first, but beneath there was some lemon zest, tea, sulfur, tannin, leather and vanilla. The palate neat is way too hot, but heavy water brings a ton of honey, oak, lemon curd, vanilla, toffee, and more subtle sulfuric notes. The short finish is uneventful and dry. Not horrible like other Battlehill bottles I’ve had, but far from great. Thanks for the samples Tash and @Generously_Paul. Oxidation does help this bottle a ton, but it’s a 2.75 out of the gate. The theme to this dram is “Dam That River” by Alice In Chains.”
