Well this is excellent stuff. Looks the business and has a proper smell and taste of bourbon, but just on the right spot for me because I don't like bourbon but this lends it the flavour without being a sickly mess. Rich and chocolatey, smooth and with some vanilla and dried fruit with a warm, boozy finish. Excellent.

Bottle. Black pour. Aroma of fruity bourbon, chocolate, vanilla, licorice, molasses and caramel. Taste has bitter caramel fudge, red fruit, oak, boozy bourbon vanilla , molasses, dates and chocolate. Long full finish. The flavor hits you like a smooth punch in the face. This is really good.

Bottle shared in Meldrum. It pours opaque jet black with a decent tan head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, big hit of coffee, espresso, dark fruits, plum, prune, cacoa nibs, vanilla and chocolate cake. The taste is dry, bitter, rich roasted malt, charred wood, warming whiskey, boozy heat, rich coffee, tar, plum, date, bramble, chocolate brownie, vanilla and some spice with a warming finish. Full body and fine carbonation. Nice depth of flavour with some dark fruits coming through.
