So, for some reason tonight seemed like a good night to finally review that bottle of 46 CASK STRENGTH that I've been meaning to get around to... NOSE: Excellent. Deep and Rich. Vanilla, Brown Sugar, Dusty Oak, Walnut Sundae Topping, Hay, and Cocoa Powder. NEAT: Again, Deep and Rich. Caramel, Butterscotch and Oak on the front of the palate. Mid-Palate is all Oak and slightly Bitter Tannins. It loses some points here. The finish has Medicinal Cherry and Oak. Slightly Sweetened Strong Black Coffee coats and lingers on the palate. SPLASH: Really helps. Nose becomes the sticky Caramelized Brown Sugar in Apple Cobbler. Takes out most of the Bitterness from the mid-palate. Brach Cinnamon Disc Candy becomes the dominate note from start to finish, right down to the Cinnamon-y Tingly Finish and Coating aftertaste. VERDICT: This is a 375ml bottle from the first issue of the Generations of Proof 3 pack found at Costco. Time open has helped this one a great deal. While the overall bitter character was a bit off-putting, a couple splashes of water really help by sweetening it and adding that great cinnamon note. Worth a buy if you can find the Genrations pack, as I feel it is a little better buy than the standard issue 750 size(it also comes with a 375 MMCS and a Private Selection). Either way, this 46 is a real winner.
