Ok, so Crown can’t do smoked whiskey for crap. Andalusia very much can. On the nose, notes of cocoa and oak, but the biggest, most fascinating thing I get on the nose is brown sugar-candied bacon. There’s a light, but sweet savoriness in there. On the palate, I’m reminded of the Balcones Froak, but with more smoke. There’s chocolate, coffee, brown sugar, red fruit, and tangy sweet bbq sauce. It’s unique. And delicious. The smoke is more sweet than anything. Much more inviting than the more challenging Islay scotches, and both are fantastic in their own right. Good long finish. Dangit, Texas strikes again.
