Batch 62 at 59.9% ABV
There are a lot of complaints at the recent price hike on most websites which brings down the ratings but my review is unbiased to what I paid. Bottled at cask strength, this one takes a fair amount of water which really opens it up and an added bonus, stretches the bottle out as well.
It has a rich darker amber color and on the nose I definitely get woody tones with some spice and sweet stone fruits. The palate is where this one was a stand out for me, like a blast of cordial cherries and a good amount of tingle on the tongue even after adding a good amount of water. The cherry followed through on the finish which was on the drier side but rather short lived.
