3.5
Nose: Mint, mild cereal grain, maple, cocoa powder, sherry-aged red fruits, plum Palate: some viscosity, subtle evergreen, baking spice, dry vermouth carried by sweet maple syrup Finish: underwhelming, maple syrup, red hots, sharpness increases with each sip It's peculiar that this bottled proof batch tastes hotter than barrel strength batch 8 at 102 proof.
