Tasting Notes
Nose of ash, paint thinner, vanilla. Wow wow wow. This has more going on than nearly any spirit you may find. Highly complex. This is intriguing.
Cigarette smoke and wintergreen on the nose. An oily, soapy film sticks to the roof of my mouth.
Peppery and sweet BBQ flavor; clean taste at first but gets dirty, a delayed tingling sensation. Not sure about this one, not bad but not having another.
Nose: Lumberyard and distant smoke; fresh sawdust and navy cut tobacco. Taste: cheap motel room, stale perfume and old cigarette smoke; dirty carpet and cleaning solution. Can almost hear the maids cursing the prior night's orgy.
Nose: Soap dish. Grape leaves. Old leather musty. Sour fruit. Taste: Lavender. Dish soap. Silky. Finish: Soap, passion fruit, honey.
