- The Daily Pour
- Very apparent transition from the palate to the finish, and not in a way that I think I really like. That said, this is generally very nice, and the finish is what keeps it from climbing higher.

-
Nose:
Apple butter, vanilla cream, honey, gingerbread. Super rich.
-
Taste:
Thick, rich. Very mild heat. Melon, cantaloupe, vanilla cream, honey, mild pepper - all sweet. Some toffee, some raspberry, apples and pears.
-
Finish:
Long, growing heat here but not punishing. Some astringency, pepper, plastic, clove, faint fruitiness. Rich cream.
-
Overall:
Very apparent transition from the palate to the finish, and not in a way that I think I really like. That said, this is generally very nice, and the finish is what keeps it from climbing higher. The nose was sublime, though, and quite delicious.
