Comments:
Oof! The angels didn't take much of this one, or perhaps they didn't get a chance. It's 6 to 8 years old, which means they either have poor records or it's a blend of a couple of barrels. It's fruity and slightly rancio, with a dry biscuity finish With water it opens up, becomes bitter, reminds me of a really good single estate dark chocolate, perhaps from Latin America. There's not much of this bourbon around, and I understand why.
Verdict:
I like this a lot.
