Very interesting - there's a lot going on here. It tastes less aged and more playful than 1776 15, but the flavors don't fit together as nicely. More minerals than I would like cone through and the fruits mix with beets to produce a juice that is a bit awkwardly placed between tasting healthy and tasting tasty. There's a bit of a spicy element, but it is more numbing that hot. There are a lot of fun elements here, but they don't mix amazingly well. The fruits have some darker elements like prune following some lighter, almost citrus elements. The wood is lightly roasted and a bit sweet as if the sugars in it were just barely caramelized. There's some kind of annoying mint here, but it isn't too bad I guess. The fruity sweetness highlights a bit of a disappointing mineral taste from the floral and vanilla flavors. I'd be happy to sip it for a bit, but I wouldn't love it.
