-
Nose:
Funky cornbread, sweet confectioners sugar. Pine and some light oak and ethanol. Butterscotch.
-
Taste:
"Sweet syrupy goodness". Direct quote from notes. Different than the nose - there's no hint of ethanol at all here. Sweet and buttery. This is great.
-
Finish:
Medium with no heat. Sweet and one dimensional but its the dimension I love. Confectioners sugar, faint peanut brittle and a lot of caramel.
-
Overall:
Well above average. For a dram I know absolutely nothing about, I was really very impressed. Its a BIB which many of you know I really love to dote on and the quality really shines. Its also cool that it is from 93. As far as rating goes, I'm giving this a 7. Most BiB products are good but not exceptional. This one isn't exceptional either, but it is more than a cut above the rest.
