Community Tasting Note

  • Hodby wrote: 60 points

    June 17, 2014 - Medium red-brown color. Aromas of a bit of cherry and strawberry, green bell pepper and olives are peeking through a heavy blanket of oxidation. Smells like it's gonna taste very old indeed. On arrival, low tannin and medium-low acidity. Flavors of butterscotch and cherry hit right up front, and that's followed by caramel corn; it's how I'd figure a low strength Evan Williams black level Bourbon would be tasting at 14% abv. Cork was good, storage impeccable but this fellow's near dead. Bottle #6 of six.
