Intro:
"Known for producing fruit spirits since 1874 Bertrand distillery offers a product of great originality: The Biersky!
-
Nose:
Honey, doughy and bready. Musty and sticky sweet pastries. Like a nice, rich raisin bread.
-
Taste:
Medium mouthfeel. Oily, sticky caramel and cinnabon notes. Icing, mild sulfur, honey caramel and vanilla. Light pepper. Reminds me faintly of Charbay characteristics like the III. Musty, funky, tasty dessert.
-
Finish:
Medium length, dought and sweet with plums, tobacco and vanilla.
-
Overall:
Super unique but showing a lot of complexity for something with as strange a mashbill as this. I thought this improved on a lot of flaws I found in Charbay R5 - not to say this is a direct comparison, by any means, but the sample pool of products like this that I've tried is very low. The complexity and the blend of sweet to funk makes this a good pick in my book.
