Samantha spent a full 3 years in select Willett family estate bourbon barrels to then be conditioned on select coffee until perfection. Robust, expressive and full of flavor.

Dark brown. This pours about super thick. This has a lot of thickness, coats the glass. There's a good malt character, burnt sugars, almost a vanilla character. OK rich chocolate, and the barrel is nice on it, good quality. Not as complex as others in this quality range.

330mL bottle, pours an inky black like motor oil with almost no head. Nose is full of intense coffee and bourbon barrels. Flavour is bold but actually somewhat muted on the coffee note, with tar, some roasted, light bourbon, and earthy coffee. The coffee character is rather obscured, and the bourbon isn’t particularly clear either. It’s smooth and silky on the palate, but the flavour profile isn’t particularly honed. Decent but far from excellent.

330mL bottle. Pours very thick, black with a small tan head. Tons of intense coffee on the nose, bourbon barrels on the finish. Flavour is quite subdued with some notes of coffee and bourbon, but not nearly as intense as the nose. Absurdly thick on the palate; any thicker and I could chew it. More coffee on the finish. This is complete mess, the nose is intense and the body is thick, but the flavour completely falls flat. Not well done.
I would rate this lower, but my pour was closer to the bottom and was much sludgier than those who had a pour closer to the top of the bottle.

Flaska från SB. Trögflytande vätska med tjocka klumpar. Behövs en visp innan den går att dricka. Fin doft med whisky, lönnsirap, kaffe, granola och choklad. Väldigt koncentrerad smak vilket ihop med konsistensen gör att smakerna inte kommer till sin rätt. More is not always more. Ok

330ml bottle. Sweetish and heavy with loads of coffee, some wheaty bourbon barrel, oak, vanilla, syrup and chocolate sauce.
