Review: this is for black dirt single barrel 59.8%. aroma: citrus, vanilla, oak. palate: a potent flavor that's tough to pin down. licorice? sugary. butterscotch. nutty?
The oak is very strong initially. I enjoyed it at first, but after a few drinks, my opinion has changed.
The description is accurate. It has a strong flavor and holds up well with ice.
Certainly murky, yet still a pleasure. 80/100.
Reminds me of black dirt. I'll skip this one in the future.
