16.9 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has rich cherries, cognac barrels, some cola, and booze. Flavour reveals lots of cognac-soaked cherries, cola, bourbon, and a touch of vanilla. Great blend of bourbon and cognac, finishing light-to-medium sweet, with gentle cherry character. Light-bodied, but nicely barrel-aged. Very good, but definitely not one of the best BCBS variants.

Poured from 500mL bottle (bottled 22 July 2025). Very dark brown with almost no beige head. Nice bourbon forward with feint cognac and cherry notes, comes together nicely.

500mL bottle. Pours black with minimal head. Rich roasted malts, burnt sugars, and candied fruit on the nose. Flavour has burn sugars, roasted malts, cognac, candied cherries. Boozy on the finish. Good depth, good barrel character. Very nice.

o: perfectly true-to-name | strong throughout...as expected! | great balance, and while I love tea - this just worked well, despite me not wanting to like this, I loved it!

Flarra i hemmet. Här har vi mörkchoklad och fina små nötter . Tydligt fin sötma och tydlig underliggande bourbon. SUPERGOD. Vad håller den från topp betyg undrar du? Jo lite väl hårt rostad malt tyvär.
