Light and sweet at the front of the taste- honey, rye, caramel. Then a quite spicy jalepeno finish that burns going down. Interesting balance. I didn't find this quite as enticing and unique as the other two Boss Hogs I've tried- a little too spicy for me.
Nose is very sweet with hints of honey and vanilla. Palate is more of the same, with additional hints of clove, cinammon, and dark chocolate. Long finish
Nose wasn’t anything special to be honest but the mead really shines through on the palate. Lots of rich honey flavors and a raisin finish.
So good, that flavor is great! I thought that XIII and IX were good, but this one is better IMO
Beyond amazing. If youre a setious bourbon or rye lover, its a must try.
