Nose: Smells softer than the 1982, touch more fruity. Bubble gum. Cotton candy grapes. Lavender laundry soap… going deeper into floral cleaners

Palate: woody vegetal bitter, mouth cleaning soap. This is what I would punish my kids with after they use the lord’s name in vain.

Rating: 2 / 10 – I’m baffled at how potent it is at 40%, and yet it hits all the wrong notes just right. Only the penitent man shall pass.

Nose: stone fruit, violet, orange marmalade, dark chocolate orange, hershey kisses, nutmeg and ginger cookie spice mix, intermittent moments of umami on the Worcestershire  

Palate: wood forward, herbal black licorice candies. Powerful and viscous and coating. Dandelion. Bitter green. Graham crackers.

Rating: 4 / 10 – the nose is damn good, but the palate became all wood and lost its fruit mojo.
