House Review
-
Intro:
This is a Mashbill #2 release from Buffalo Trace that is international only. It is bottled at cask strength.
-
Nose:
Big vanilla, earthy pepper. Toffee, oak, sour fruit, faint ethanol.
-
Taste:
Medium mouthfeel, rich honey, a good deal of heat. Earthy pepper, bitter cocoa, faint vanilla. The heat is pretty prominent here but the earthy cocoa is interesting.
-
Finish:
Long and hot, but loaded with vanilla and a bit of earthy cocoa.
-
Overall:
These are always really different to my palate, and I can't say I love them, but the palate on this SFTB was interesting and unique.
