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

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