- Excerpt: This is pretty impressive for what it is. Given the price and the age, I assumed it was generated using refuse casks, but I was pretty impressed with this guy, all things considered.

Intro:
This is a little known brand from Heaven Hill sporting a reasonable age statement and more than reasonable proof. It's a part of the Crackdown here because I thought it was a craft / sourced release for a long time, until I dug into its origins. Sue me.
-
Nose:
Honey, musty tobacco, caramel, oak. Not super complex, or remarkable, but also not heinous, either.
-
Taste:
Medium mouth feel. Notable oak presence, nice pepper, tobacco, caramel and some nougat. Theres some corn here, rich cream. Heat is very much in check.
-
Finish:
Medium length, gentle and rich with lots of clove, cocoa, cream and oak.
-
Overall:
This is pretty impressive for what it is. Given the price and the age, I assumed it was generated using refuse casks, but I was pretty impressed with this guy, all things considered.
