Thanks to caesar! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ ZZT 2017. Black, brief mocha head. Nose is mocha, chocolate, cacao, low umami, thick boozy bourbon. Taste is tasty low plastic, quite boozy very heavy bourbon with lovely sweet chocolate, mocha, cacao, almost dark fruit. Basic, boozy, solid bodied. Not very elegant but very tasty boozy bourbon RIS.
