Tasting- 2 oz. In glen cairn neat, and then 2 oz with 2 drops of water.
Nose: Caramel, vanilla, cherry, and marshmallow with oak and light sawdusty woodshop.
Palate: A butterscotch bomb! Tastes like those yummy yellow candies and caramel-vanilla cremes. Their is oak in the background, and a hint of nutmeg on the finish. This is a liquid candy bowl
Finish: Medium and warming. That butterscotch stays on the tongue and leaves you wanting more with a hint of nutmeg to round it all out..
Overall- Big fan of this one! Super sippable and has all the flavors of grandma's candy dish without cloying sweetness. The texture is velvety smooth and buttery. I love what Michter's does with the low 103 entry proof. It adds incredible texture and layers of flavor without all of the water. This may have been a 5/5 for me if it was higher in proof. I am not complaining about it at all, it is jist that water seemed to thin it a bit, and I like to dial my bourbon in to my liking. That said....the 94.4 proof from the bottle hit the spot perfectly. $130 is a high pricetag to pay, but if you got it, do not hesitate to use it to grab a spectacular bourbon.
