  • There's a lot of oak and tannin here. In my opinion, Stranahan's natural bright and fruity profile is well suited to take on that hefty oak, but some drinkers may find this a bit too tannic.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Phenomenal nose. Plenty of cognac influence. Sweet blueberry compote, cotton candy, honey, golden delicious apple, mango lassi, crème brûlée, cinnamon and a slight minerality.

  • Taste:

    A tremendous balance of flavors. It's light and floral yet tannic and oaky, plus spicy. Blackberry, honey, peach tea, clove, cinnamon, leather, white pepper, tannin, orange candies.

  • Finish:

    The finish leans on oak and Cognac at the outset, with notes of leather, cocoa powder and tobacco giving way to clove, cinnamon and sweet Tokaji.

  • Overall:

    A great, layered expression from Stranahan's. The Cognac and Tokaji complement the whiskey very well. It also drinks tremendously at 94.6 proof. In many cases, with a whiskey priced at $130, I'd want to taste it at a higher proof, but this has a lovely viscosity and drinks perfectly as is. There is, it should be noted, a lot of oak. In my opinion, Stranahan's natural bright and fruity profile is well suited to take on that hefty oak, but some drinkers may find this a bit too tannic.
