Tasting Notes
Character abounds in this spirit that is meant for a more introspective mood.
Slight peat on the end of it. I like this one a lot.
Furry on the checks, like an inside beard. Nose has that first hint of new rubber tires before becoming overwhelming or rude.
Soft and fruity. Tastes of brown butter and creme brûlée on the finish.
Leather and apple. Rich and heavy.
Not much for a nose. Nice subtle chocolate smoke up front. I like the mineral finish. Pretty tame.
Sweet aroma. Also caramel. Very soft flavor, in comprison to others.
