Tasting Notes

About:

141.1 proof (70.55 ABV). Aged 10 years. Batch #1 sampled for review. $99.99 suggested retail price per 750ml bottle.
Appearance:
Clear and mellow caramel almond color
Nose:
An intense, sweet aroma that you can pick up from across the room, like a familiar cologne. Cherry and oak also presents itself, though none of it is overwhelming or unpleasant.
Palate:
Warm cherry cola wraps around the entire mouth with a delightful brown sugar mellowness. It’s a mellow but powerful flavor! The long finish leaves a tingly, herbaceous sensation.
