Milsean is one of those bottles I kept passing up until I thought they were gone and then stumbled upon on and I just had to give it a go. I'll save you any suspense, it's pretty tasty and I'm glad to have it, but how does it score? I seriously wish I knew more about these but i'm assuming 6-14 year old juice and oddly I think more in the 10-14 range and interesting wine casks. nose - I get an oddly lightly soured and yet candy like note, perhaps a blue or purple sweat tart meets a sour sucker meets charred oak? Some barely and oak notes as well. I don't recall this sour note from earlier tastings but what remains is a sweet and very inviting candy experience, and thus the candy stripe box design. The more I nose the more I start to get some bourbon notes, perhaps some vanilla and caramel. Wow just went back to it after a few minutes and I can't even describe it, it's like a kid's sticky mess of a box of candy where they opened a bunch, just hit me with candy. Lemon drops and sour patch, and just everything. Taste - well it's a tart and sweet candy mix for sure. Everything from your cherry suckers to your perhaps lightly chocolatey notes. Then a lovely transition to a slightly tart and wood sour finish, showcasing the charred oak and a mix of almost a powdered sugar and light milk chocolate powder combination. This is just a delightfully easy drinking sweet and candied whisky. It's not super old or complex. It's not great by any means. But it's just an easy and super enjoyable turn your head off and have a scotch kinda pour. I'm thinking 2.0, but I'll bump it to 2.25 for how inviting it is. The unique notes here might justify a few more points but at the same time, the nose has a hint of wow but more in "wow what is that" and the taste is mostly enjoyable and inviting, not wow. Anyway it's a bit expensive at 100 bucks but I'd not be opposed to a second bottle.
