Tasting Notes
Spicy nose. Palate is complex, alluring continues to develop. Very wonderful!
Vanilla with a little chocolate. I could drink it easily on a regular basis. Consistent from front to back.
Golden mahogany. Scents of cleaning supplies. Wow, the taste is underscored by a spicy tobacco. Smells similar to a Japanese single malt - oily. Coating of the mouth.
Slight, flowery smell. Heavy, nutty flavor, like chewing on a cashew. Water brings it in sharper, but with fast drop off from the tongue.
Smelly of plastics or band-aids. Flat on the tongue, lacking depth and character. With water, nose bursts with sweetness, palate turns smokey and peaty. Finish tastes like dead flies.
