This is intense. So hot I needed water to enjoy and l rarely can say that. That being said, neat I found it to be nutty, earthy, spicy and complex. After a splash of water it unravels a bit and allows vanilla, peppermint and other goodies to tumble out. This is a tough one. I almost think the proof needs to be dropped slightly or it needs a bit more aging. This is good but it has potential to be so much more.
Went to a Del Bac tasting tonight with their brand ambassador. Tried several of their expressions and I can say that each of their expressions has a unique flavor profile. The version I got to taste tonight was a Madeira finish, which reminded me of a cross between Glendronach and Colkegan. Great stuff! Sherry finish meets mesquite smoke.
This was the spring release 2021 Amazing sweet Sherry, stone fruit, honey, vanilla and spice. The ABV of 55.9 was completely hidden. It had an ABV profile closer to 43% on the palate. The drink was thick and oily. Very complex
Batch 17-02. Excellent stuff, much better than the standard releases as they only use a little if the smoked spirit. Seems too sweet at first but then opens up a lot with a rich mix of flavors.
Was able to try a small sample of this at The Parlor in Phoenix; strong, given it is cask strength, but every bit as good as its lower proof counterpart.
Batch 2: Rich raisin and balanced sweetness. Like a tempered Macallan with being over-sherried. From my understanding batch 2 is a Maidera cask.
