Remarks:
very tasty bourbon. But it needs water otherwise it is too strong or pungent in the nose and in the finish due to the high alcohol content. But with water it is very pleasant and tasty

Overall I rate this Whisky 86/100 points

  • Nose: 86/100 points
    nice spicy nose, slightly sweet, vanilla and caramel, which are very present over 60% percent, oak, slightly nutty, a few fruits appear when diluted with water, it becomes rounder and softer, nuts come through, light citrus notes

  • Taste: 86/100 points
    spicy oak, strong start, becoming sweet with vanilla and a lot of caramel, becoming spicy due to the high alcohol content, slightly nutty and a little chocolate, with water the start is softer and rounder, in addition to the aromas without water there are also fruits and more nuts

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    warming and a bit hot, very spicy oak notes, a bit sweet with caramel and again the nuts, medium length, becoming a bit bitter. It doesn’t get quite as strong with water. Flavors stay the same.
