The aroma has a lot of coffee and youthful whiskey characteristics. The taste is sweet though a bit rough on the palate, with some nice barrel notes. The finish is full of coffee and chocolate, though it doesn't last as long as I'd prefer. It's not the most complex whiskey, but as someone who loves coffee, it was definitely interesting to sample. I don't think I'd purchase another bottle, however.

A truly potent, difficult-to-produce, no-longer-available item. It absolutely fits the 7S lineup, but it's like Czar's more approachable relative. Chocolate and coffee appear, then hops arrive and start causing chaos.
Interesting. As a coffee-flavored spirit, it's good. As a higher-end bourbon, it's... odd. Bourbon infused with porter fades into a very alcoholic coffee at the end. Quite intriguing.
A pleasant aroma. It is very coffee-prominent with a good burn. It's decent, but I would not purchase it again.
Coffee and sweetness on the nose. The taste is big and sweet, and it finishes with a noticeable bite.
A delightful whiskey with coffee notes.:)
