Sweet caramel, less spice but some heat here. Weird, bitter funk. Almost earthy but not in a pleasant way. Like rutabagas... is dis blantons?
Sweet and oaky, caramel and spice. Theres some cereal grains here and a faint hint of orange peel. Nice vanilla also, with some faint clove, pepper and leather.
Medium in length. Nothing really too remarkable here, theres not a lot of heat but not a lot of much else either. Some sweets, some oak and then its gone.
This was interesting and very different. I really don't know where to place it. The cereal grains were new and yummy but I didn't love the earthy bitterness for the same reason I don't like Blanton's. Luckily they really only appeared in the nose which led the grains and orange to liven up the palate. Its a shame the finish didn't have more happening but I'm going to let it sit at Rank 6. Unique and (mostly) great.
