Lots of coffee and young whiskey notes on the nose. Tastes sweet if somewhat rough on the palate with some decent barrel notes. Lots of coffee and chocolate notes on the finish, although the finish doesn't last as long as I would like. Not the most complex whiskey but, as a coffee lover, it was certainly interesting to try. Don't think I'd buy a second bottle though.

A really strong, hard to produce, discontinued offering. Absolutely suits the 7S stable, but like Czar’s more friendly cousin. Chocolate, and coffee and then hops show up and start smashing up the place.
Interesting. As a distilled coffee liquor, it’s nice. As a higher end bourbon, it’s... weird. Porter-infused bourbon fades to highly alcoholic coffee on the end. Very interesting.
Good nose. It is very coffee forward with a good burn. Decent but would not buy again.
Coffee and sweetness on the nose. Big and sweet taste and finishes with quite a bite.
Rich flavor, coffee whiskey :)
