Tasting Notes
Strange rain puddle meets old wood smell. Threw me for a loop. Redeeming taste of flat Dr Pepper Concentrate, which actually tastes really good. But that nose! Slightly tiring to drink because of the nose - time to turn in my party hat.
Beautiful cherry cola color. Nose of wet floorboards. Cigar butts soaked in whiskey "aged" in an ashtray. A little more proof might give this more character.
Soft rubber cement nose. Smooth even taste across the palate with hints of earthy tobacco. Wonderful unique with a beautiful color that deceives the taste buds at first.
Vanilla. Nice lean body...maybe more than lean. Soapy/aged smoke nose. The Hall and Oates of mescal. Grandpas awesome pipe smoke and caramel. But in this case, aging doesn't help this one as much as one would think.
Beater car garage. Oil. Dirt. Old fumes.
Faint smell of burned rubber - like a NASCAR finish from a distance. Most of the wood smoke is gone compared to non aged variety. Don't really like what remains.
