Distillery – Cascade Hollow
Bottler – Pursuit Spirits
Brand – Pursuit Series
Selection – N/A
ABV – 55.35%
Age – 15 Years
Nose – Fudge, nice and oaky, fruit chews, fruit jam, extremely nutty with peanuts, almonds, praline candy
Taste – Like a snickers bar – caramel, chocolate, chunky peanut butter, nougat, berry jam
Finish – Nice oak structure and barrel spices, bright fruits, the spice lingers and almost adds a little bit of cooling menthol tobacco to the very end.
Score: 8
Would I buy a bottle? Yes
Thoughts: Oh, now this was my jam. So much chocolate and nuttiness, truly like a candy bar. The Dickel note was there, but where the 10 year ones was like a Tums, this was more like a gummy bear: sweet and fruity. This was absolutely lovely and worth the cost.
