Excerpt: I found the balance of sweet, smoke, and spices quite enjoyable. The woodiness of the whiskey helps balance the sweetness from the notes of chocolate and caramel.
Excerpt: The more I drink it, the more all I taste are the remnants of a desert scrub brush fire. And I have to think that was probably not the intention.
Excerpt: This is weird in that it ping pongs from really sweet to super oaky in such short order. I'm not really a fan. Its not terrible, but it's also clear it's not super natural, either.
Thin mouth feel with a good bit of heat. Really sweet at first, loads of honey and caramel before a big tannic punch. Bitter, astringent, faint plastic.
Finish:
Short, but hot. Lots of oak, tannins, dry cocoa, light honey and some vanilla.
Overall:
This is weird in that it ping pongs from really sweet to super oaky in such short order. I'm not really a fan. Its not terrible, but it's also clear it's not super natural, either.
