12-15 Belmont Farm Kopper Kettle Bonded

👃: Dark Chocolate, Damp Wood, Apple, Cinnamon, Oak, Pepper, Nutmeg

👅: Pepper, Smoke, Tobacco, Hazelnut, Brown Sugar

🏁: Very short finish. Pepper and dark chocolate mostly obscured by char and a lingering hint of nuttiness.

I actually like this despite it's lack of complexity. It is very char/smoke forward and pretty bitter as far as bourbons go. A little alcohol burn. This is not available in my area at all. Oddly enough, the cheapest online retailer I can find is thespiritco.com in England, where this advent calendar came from. There it goes for around $60 USD. Elsewhere it's double or more. If you have the opportunity, give it a try. Don't spend $150 for a bottle though. Or do. You are the master of your own finances.
