Nose: Apple spice cake with a big influence of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg, vanilla spice tea, citrus flower, spicy caramel popcorn, and Red Man chewing tobacco.
Palate/Finish: The apple and citrus notes really pull through to the finish. This has a BIG mouth feel and cinnamon swell. Fruit dominant, but you get vanilla and tobacco for days. Nothing subtle here. Hot as hell.
Honestly, this is a majorly beefed up version of Buffalo Trace. Which, for me, is delicious. Super dramatic and loads of flavor everywhere. No disappointment here. When you come across this, it is a must pick up.
Album Comparison: Nirvana’s Nevermind seems to resonate with me on this one. Feels aggressive, but you tend to find subtleties peppered throughout the album. Seems to go from in your face rawness to introverted drama.
Batch 10 - 126.4 Proof
