Review and Tasting


Sampled on 04/02/2013

Appearance:

(bottle No. 3713) Clear, coppery amber with polished gold highlights.

Aroma:

Nougat, fudge and honey (centre of a Crunchy bar), maple wood, hot/burnt freshly sawn cedar wood and pipe tobacco with apple juice, cherry, cinnamon and vanilla. Water releases more pipe tobacco.

Taste:

Full bodied, sweet maple syrup, dry toasted maple wood and cinnamon with cherry fruit, sour zesty citrus, bitter chocolate and light black pepper spice.

Aftertaste:

Toasty rye, nutmeg and vanilla with menthol and lingering black pepper spice. Fabulous spicy rye influenced bourbon.
