Review by Daniel
Amazingly mild for 65% alc., wonderfully integrated
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Extremely sweet, extremely poorly integrated alcohol and just totally incongruous. 🤦🏼♂️
Review by TheJackDrop
Quite a classic aroma for a bourbon-fired solera. Well-integrated alcohol, fairly thick, lots of aroma, a note of vanilla, wood and candied fruit, quite strong on the finish. A very fine discovery.
