Dragon's Milk 5 year old Origin Small Batch, 47.5%

Price: 45 Issue: Fall 2022 Reviewer: Ted Simmons Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey


Sweet aromas of berry jam, cinnamon sugar, and orange peel mix with notes of leather, peppermint, custard, and a dusty quality on the nose. The palate is syrupy and oak-forward with more spice accompanied by honey, fruit, and cream flavors. Water brings out vanilla pudding and maple syrup. There is more dessert on the finish in the form of rich chocolate mousse and birthday cake with vanillafrosting.
