All in GOAT
If this gets an F, its only because it stands for ‘Flipping Amazing’ (or insert the obvious stronger language there for a stronger exclamation). This was absolutely outstanding.
This was absolutely stunning. It was wonderfully complex. It was not overly sweet, overly funky, or overly influenced by the oloroso. It was a goldilocks dram, hitting so many different notes so well.
The spectrum of earthy, mineral, and clay notes on this were as stunning as they were unique. I have never had anything quite like the burning cow paddy I found inside this bottle— the sort of savory, musty, earthy, grassy smoke. It was delicious, dung and all.
