Neat. Neck pour. Oh that is a funky adventure. The orange curaçao punches you in the face. I like it a lot. Though the orange is so loud you can find your way behind it. Peanuts. Caramel, chocolate. Then a hint of oak. The more time you spend with it the orange note begins to meld with a vanilla note too. Like a dreamciscle.
Nice creamy mouth feel with overwhelming flavor the moment it hits the tip of the tongue. It’s dreamcicle and oak on the tongue. The taste and finish just match the nose. Peanuts, caramel, barrel spice, oak. It is very tannic. It really dries the mouth.
This is a fun experience. That orange is crazy and overwhelming. It’s really delicious. It does dry the mouth to such an extreme that it is a bit off putting. It’s a novelty. A good novelty, but a novelty none the less.

@Milliardo I traded a Mitchers 10 Year Bourbon for it (which I got for $120.)
@Milliardo you might find it discounted relative to other Parker’s, because it’s such a off to the left field novelty...not for everyone
Been wanting to try this for some time. There’s no way I’ll find this on a local shelf, which begs the question: what is this bottle worth paying for?
