Nose – ok let this one sit out for a LONG time and it punched me with vanilla. After the sweetness comes oak and funk. Very much a wooden cabinet. But I get a bit of a nutty element ,deep and old nuts. Touch of cherry and I’m thinking bourbon. Taste – oaky and funky for sure. Very high proof, super sweet for about a second then the sweetness comes back later. And then the funky oak blast hits you again. I’m struggling to get much more as this is just so much of a punch. Ok water was needed and now I’m getting more fruity notes. I also cheated and looked up that this has a port finish and yeah I get that. I don’t however get peat, unless that’s what I’m getting as heavy oak and funk. The thing is that the finish here reminds me of harbinger which I don’t like much. OK doing more, and yeah this has a peat like the new riff backsetter which I hated. So this is a hard pass. Too sweet. Too weird. The sweetness and the funk are both over powering. 1.75 stars but I could honestly go upwards of 2.25 just on how dang unique. I once again gotta thank Matt for samples and I'm so glad I got this one just again UNIQUE but yeah not really good.
