Poured from 650mL bottle (2018 vintage). Very dark brown with very minimal beige head. Soft cardamom nose. Taste has light cardamom, feint perfumey note, hint of green pepper, bourbon, dark sugars. A little old, but still decent.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma still screams out tons of cardamom, with faded earthy coffee, and some earthiness—the barrels have faded. Flavour is smooth, with integrated coffee and cardamom, subdued bourbon, some gentle dark sugar, and soft roast. The cardamom has become subtler, and the bourbon barrels finish this off. Excellent.

500mL bottle [2018 vintage]. Pours black with a small tan head. Plenty of cardamom, some soft coffee, and bourbon barrels on the nose. Flavour has lots of thick dark sugars, coffee on the gentler side, cardamom, and some big boozy bourbon barrels. A bit hot on the finish. Bourbon barrels are very well incorporated with the base and the adjuncts; the cardamom has probably tempered well with age. This comes together very well.
