  • I think the dilution really kills it here since the mouthfeel is thin, the palate isn’t particularly impressive and the finish is just ok.

  • Nose:

    Sweet corn, cream, vanilla, some musty wet cardboard (almost a hint of sawdust), faint clove and cinnamon.

  • Taste:

    Thin, not particularly bold, theres clove, pepper, some must, its oddly astringent despite the lower proof. Mild sweetness.

  • Finish:

    Short, but tasty. This has a little more kick, theres some odd astringency, followed by clove, cinnamon, vanilla and a hint of caramel.

  • Overall:

    This is good, but not particularly noteworthy. I think the dilution really kills it here since the mouthfeel is thin, the palate isnt particularly impressive and the finish is just ok. I would love to try this bumped up to 101 or higher. Overall, its not bad. But its nothing to write home about, let alone import. Rank 5.
