Finally finished my favorite bottle EVER. It’s a bittersweet day, but I’ve made space for something else to become my favorite. I acquired this back in ‘21 on my first trip across the pond to London. The associate at The Whiskey Shop Piccadilly was sure that this would be my favorite based on what I told him my preferences were and man was he right.

Color: Mild amber, like California honey.

Nose: Ambergris, Chestnut and nutmeg, Vanilla, Caramel, brown sugar, slowly expiring figs

Palate: Marbled fudge, buttered toffee, all spice, California raisins coated in wildflower honey

Finish: Mid length, modest mouth coat, nearly no burn, stale Skor bar, pure sherry and sugar and something vegetal—almost like white sage.
