So Zach who had instigated the whole craziness over March 13th's package arrived and I was simply knocked the F out, even did a huge hit on my wife Amanda too!!! Some of the most amazing lineup of cigars, a terrific bottle of bourbon that I have been wanting for quite some time and even a few beers that look amazing and a mystery bourbon too! Then add on top of that some really really nice yarn for Amanda since that is one of her favorite things to do, I am simply dumbfounded bro and don't know what to say, because thank you doesn't seem like enough! This isn't over brother and I cannot wait to smoke these, it will be soon for sure!
But wait there is more.... my bro George aka the 3Stogies (should be Joker but hey....) demolished me as well with this terrific lineup of smokes including the new Noblesse that I have been wanting to try so bad! George, there was no reason to go so nuts bro but thank you and I cannot wait to smoke these!!!

my husband had never seen Friday so I made him watch it a few nights ago

Irish, how about that mystery bourbon?
Nose: This is a really clean and soft nose that is gentle and quite refined. It has some spice to it but it is mostly floral with some influences of marzipan and a little bit of honey that finishes clean and smooth with just a touch of oak, very nice! This is what I think of a the classic and fantastic "bourbon" nose and something I always crave in any good sipper.
Palate: Ohh boy wow what a nice dram, hell yeah!! Starts out quite spicy up front with heavy influences of rye and a very nice deep char and drier oak finish that is sublime! Digging into it a bit further it is not a very sweet one and only has milf and tame notes of vanilla and corn sweetness, but the spice and char and oak more than compensate and make this a highly complex and spectacular dram! The body is a bit thin for mouthfeel but it does have a smooth and velvety texture that compliments the spicy oak quite well and leads from the spicy front into a smooth and seamless transition of marzipan, oak, a heavy deep char (total guess but I wouldn't be surprised if this was a No. 4 "Alligator" char) with a long drawn out finish that layers the spice, oak and char with the more subtle and nuanced caramel and toffee and tobacco that is simply superb here!!! Zach thank you so much, this is totally different than most anything else I have in my cabinet as I mainly go for sweeter and lusher drama but wow this is the single best representation I can think of for why I need to start exploring the drier and spicier oaked offerings because this is extraordinary!! Easily a 4/5 star one for me and I suspect as my tastes change a bit more and this opens up even more that number may quite easily climb to a 4.5-5/5 rating for me!!
As I found out from Zach after I did this review and sent it to him, this turned out to be Very Old Barton Bottled in Bond man this rocks thanks bro!!
See your post's are better when you drink Brett, read what you wrote when you sober up, lol.
Maybe it was someone, err I mean something, you ate prior to this taste review, lol.
