I'd say I enjoy 1792 products as a whole, and I am curious to see how this rarer expression stacks up. Onto the review...
On the nose, butterscotch bomb for days. Also caramel, bubblegum, pencil shavings, cocoa butter, and an indistinct citrus. Pleasant to huff.
Palate takes a distinct turn with banana, cream soda, stone fruits (specifically peach), white chocolate, and cinnamon. Flavors are decently rich.
Really tasty nougat note in the finish; like inside of a three musketeers bar. The indistinct citrus in the nose finally presents itself as pear along with some oak and a cooling menthol that extends the finish to "long" when the other flavors stop at "medium" length. Thin and dry mouthfeel.
Overall a pleasant experience. Lacks a little punch and body; I have a feeling that a little more proof would make this a smash, but as it is it's still solid. At $40 it's a decent enough value for what you receive. Scores an extra .25 for uniqueness.
