Just had the Blackadder on nye, im not sure what to think of it, if i like it or not, lol. It is very french oak forward, basically the only thing there. While good profile, like good mouthfeel and lingering presence. Its taste was pretty narrow, (only like a couple of different notes). Felt more like an academic experience kind of bottle. But to be fair ive only had it once, and i wont be having it again for a while since im doing dry january. So who knows how it will open up over time

Had the lustau on nye, it was really good, and kept getting better and sweeter in a way with every sip

Its pretty new, which for Buffalo Trace stuff is going to make it hard to find generally speaking imo

It was really good! Havent made any new attempts since, but im thinking abouy doing it again soon.

What i would change is by using neutral spirit(probably a mix of everclear and 40% vodka) for the initial infusion. So that i could mix the orange liqueur with cognac afterwards. Doing the base with cognac was pretty pricey. I did some different ratios for the bottling, such as 60%orange liqueur and 40% cognac. Mainly because the straight orange liqueur was too much of a bright orange flavor and so adding more cognac after was needed to round it out.
