Smooth, sweetish and slightly roasty with some dry earthiness, hints of coconut, vanilla, caramel and cocoa, faint notes of licorice. Okay

500ml bottle from my wife. N ar black pour, fizzy beige head forms a thin ring around the glass. Aroma kicks off with coconut, some vanilla and chocolate. Taste is sweet, roasty, chocolate and coconut, hint of vanilla. Strong, too, a nice burn at the back that lasts all the way down. Very sweet.

2024 bottle from Total Wine. Pours a pitch black with a finger of beige head that lingers. Huge dark chocolate, milk chocolate and coconut focused aromas with bourbon, oak and vanilla as it warms. Bourbon throughout with some fig, dark chocolate, coconut, chocolate drizzle and oak throughout. Same notes on the palate that lingers. Balanced finish with warming bourbon barrel, oak and chocolate. Excellent!
