From the moment I heard of this one I found the name amusing enough to want to try it. I wonder if it lives up to its name and packaging?
Minutia: Bottled in 2013 after maturation in ex-Bourbon and Manzanilla Sherry casks, with an age statement on the bottle of 10.
Color: Old oak, 1.8.
Nose: Smoke, dark fruit, gum.
Taste: Tart, fruity, wine, smoke, burnt sugar.
Finish: Coffee, chocolate, caramel, smoke. Long.
So, this doesn’t follow the Day as well as that followed the Alligator, but I still like it quite a bit. It’s not something I’m going to endeavor to keep around as long as possible or seek out anymore, but I’ll turn to it when I’m looking for something substantial.
Score: 87
