| Tasting # 333: Another 'shine from Carolina. (24-DEC-2008) | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Notes | After Monday's mediocrity I wasn't really excited to pull another 'shine out of my mini pile. One whiff of Catdaddy, though, and you'll realize this is not the same thing at all. This... drink is flavorful and astonishing and with a bit more character and a bit less bite it could have been a giant. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 1st Impression | Fair, interesting, nothing fantastic. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Smell | Smells like egg nog and powdered sugar doughnuts. And those are just about the most spot-on smells that I've ever dredged out of my brain in the history of this site. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Taste | Wow. Just... whoo! You drink one 'shine and it tastes like nothing and follow it shortly after with THIS! That's a kick in the teeth, right there. Astonishingly sweet cream and pears, pineapples, cornflour and wheat flour and some kind of floral BOOM right at the peak. In fact, this comes close to a liqueur called St. Germain that uses elderflowers. I've no idea what THIS uses, but wow is it full of flavor. A bit tight and with a lot of bite in the end, overly short and really unusual in the peak. I'm quite fond of this and I'm going to go high for a corn whisky: 67. | ||||||||||||||||||||
