Bottled for Whisky Broker, 234 bottles
1st fill bourbon cask
58.1%
Nose: Lemony. Vanilla. Something kind of sweet and chalky, flinstone vitamin-esque. Faint hint of sour body odor. Herbal.
Palate: Odd. Hot burst. Weirdly sweet and dingy. Dried herbs. More flinstone vitamins. Pineapple syrup. Typical bourbon cask notes. Banana.
Finish: A little maritime transitioning to the finish. Palate just drifts off over time, warm and caramel-y. Hot and peppery. Eventually get a little smoke.
Score: 2.5/5
Mental Image: Burst of contradictions.
Pretty odd at first, but it grew on me. I found water to make this more boring, though.
