Tasting Notes
4 roses 4 life.
Coats the tongue with a thick mucous of bourbon glory. I rested in between sips for several minutes, enjoying the sojourn to Kentucky greatly.
Definitely an aroma on this one, getting an herbaly/minty fragrance with dat musky barrel smell. I really like this even though the burn/fume coming off this thing made me almost cough.
Hints of licorice and sweaty socks. Sweet, but hard as well. After taste lingers for a bit. Water made this much better.
