Bottle thanks to Chow. Pours black with medium beige head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is strong oak, whiskey, tobacco, vanilla. Slick body, smoke, ash, tobacco, whiskey, cocoa, roast finish, very nice.
Tasting at Tokyo Midtown. Pours dark brown, almost black little beige head. Nose is loaded with with vanilla and coconut. Leathery and bit smokey woody oak. Taste is dry, some sweetness yes, but really overshadowed by leathery dryness, some light smoke, dried dark plums and loads and piles of woody spices. Really oaky and so multi-layered it's crazy. Booze warmth is there but drinks easy and has just great dry leathery bourbon booze finish. Loving this, so different.
Pitch black color. The nose baffles my palate in how to describe it. Dark chocolate, tons of burnt oak, spiced rum, ash, dark fruit, cassis, vanilla, soy sauce, umami in the nose. Fucking amazing. Low carbonation, tons of burnt oak, dark chocolate, red wine, dark chocolate, umami, soy sauce. Super smooth. Amazing balance and depth like I've rarely seen. Just out of this world.
