Color of bubbly purple, quite dark. Nose of dark fruits (cherry, currants, blackberry), aldehyde, tobacco leaves, powerful alcohol, not too shabby. Taste of ample acidity, plentiful tannins, oak, spicy sweetness, ripe grapes, and indeed some warm bourbon like note. Aftertaste of more warmth, note tobacco note, some more zesty and sweet note. I am quite happy with it. I am quite happy with this 2nd bottle even though the notes are slightly different.

Sep 7th, 2021Color of different shades of purple. Nose of ripe cherry. menthol, oak, strength of alcohol, warm and vanilla. Taste of sweet dark fruits, mellow tannins, a bit chocolate and vanilla, quite chewy, some ripe grapes, a bit tobacco leaves, and a bit zesty. Aftertaste is clean, shows some more tannins, oak, and vanilla. Reminds me of Bogles Phantom. Not bad.
