wonderful before cutting…a little flat after…citrus
|
medium…not overpowering
|
a little bit of heat. More floral than expected.
|
soothing coating
|
Being cask strength…I believe I may have cut it too much…I lost what made the initial nosing so wonderful. As is, I would not seek this one out again

High peat. Delicious. Not smoky though.

Awesome. Really. Take tiny amounts and the high character will explode and fill your mouth without conveying the cask strength heat.

Orville Redenbacher buttery. It is really buttery like the movie theater.
|

Soft and easy. for a novice who comes to your house.

Skanky but post finish is in fact that fake butter stuff from the movies.
