Neat. Neck pour. Sharp on the nose. Butterscotch. Caramel. Berries and cream. Hint of almond. The mix of high rye and low rye MGP is messing with me. Smells familiar and then morphs a bit. Milky mouth fell. Heavy spice on the tongue. Cinnamon and barrel. On the taste the MGP butterscotch and vanilla emerge. Those ripe red fruits hit on the finish. Yeah lots of cherry and vanilla on the finish on subsequent drinks. Equally delicious and disappointing. Delicious because it’s MGP and those MGP dessert flavors are in full effect. Disappointing in comparison to other MGP bottles I have around similar years. That isn’t fair though because those other MGP single barrels are $40, $60 or $80 more than this. I think the price is the hurdle. At $50, I’d call this a must buy. At $70-$80, this is probably my first and last Remus Special Reserve.
