 Lucky 7 14yr. 118.6

First time having this. Sample provided my Michael Garcia

It's a bit pricey so I expect a lot. I believe these go for $200 or so.

N: 7

Hits you with unripe melon right away. A little ethanol burn. And a bitter burnt plastic note. It's hard to fight your way to the bottom of the aroma. It's not entirely unpleasant just slightly off-putting and unconventional. Once you're in there you feel the thickness and you're almost fighting your way through a jungle of rubbery smells. I know there's something good hiding under there but it's exhausting to get to. There... It's baked pastries and sweet bread and herbs. Perhaps I was a little harsh on this. My initial was 6 but it's a solid 7 just for the challenge alone. What can I say, I like different and interesting. And challenging counts. This honestly reminds me of some good rums I've tried.

P: 7

Super glue, apples, and tannins. As you good it in your mouth, it gets that chalky bitter dryness you expect to get in the tail end.

F: 9

Wow something great happened here. I gotta go back. Brb.

Ok. I haven't gone back yet. There's a lot going on here. I'm processing. What!? Cucumber?

Anyway. I'm gonna try this again just to make sure.

Here we go!

Rapid fire... There's a faint presence of newsprint followed by apples, rubber, chalk, fresh car smell, sterile hospital, lots of sweetness, a hint of sour, astringent tannins, melon, and cucumber. The sweetness lingers through the whole process. And it fades into the abyss.

O: 25 The price tag is a little steep but I do think it is a contender in this price range. It is interesting enough. Perhaps not a movie I'd want to watch over and over again but I'm glad I saw it once. The good thing is, every release is a little different so there's lots to enjoy.
