Review and Tasting

Sampled on 05/10/2018

Appearance:

Clear, deep tawny brown.

Aroma:

Pungent heavily roasted/burnt coffee beans, cacao, nutmeg and vanilla nuttiness.

Taste:

Bone dry and lightly bitter. Intense burnt coffee, charred wood, and spirituous spice. Coffee dominates whiskey.

Aftertaste:

Long wood tannins and bitter coffee finish.

Overall:

A tad too dry and bitter to enjoy neat but this coffee and whiskey combo is great mixed into a cocktail: Shake 50ml Jameson Cold Brew, 30ml fresh espresso coffee and 5ml sugar syrup with ice and fine strain into chilled coupe.
