Remarks:
a wonderful and tasty bourbon. Very intense aromas. Despite the more than 63%, the alcohol is not intrusive. It doesn’t need water, but it has a lot of potential to dilute.
Overall I rate this Whisky 91/100 points
- Nose: 91/100 points
very intense and spicy oak notes, fruity, notes of baked apple, vanilla and caramel, sweet, the 63% alcohol is amazingly well integrated. Later it will soften and berries will appear - Taste: 91/100 points
very spicy oak, slightly hot and prickling on the tip of the tongue, delicious bourbon notes, fruity with a hint of coffee, sweet with vanilla and caramel - Finish: 91/100 points
spicy oak notes, sweet with vanilla and caramel, long-lasting, chocolatey, fruity with the berries on the nose. Very intensive.
