Act 6, Scene 6
Packaged beautifully; slight glint to the glass & nice hand-numbered labels.
Nose: Huge rye. Some plum, but it is buried behind the allspice
Palate: Vanilla. Really nice oak. Spice and smoke. Mild port. Cloves hit with the....
Finish: Delicate warmth. Dessert. Melted vanilla icecream....still some of that wood.
Very much prefer this neat, with no water. Dilution flattens it out....bitter meringue and zest. Still a long finish, but I miss the creamy vanilla notes that moves to the background.
Love it. I'm biased, as this was a wonderful gift from the wife. But: I. Want. More.
