Description
Body: Light milk chocolate and cedar
Foot: Dried mango slices
Cold draw: Dried mango slices
Tasting Notes: This first third erupts with charred cedar and mango fruitiness. There is also a black pepper both on the palate and retro as well as an oakiness to the retro that is quite comforting. The retrohale sees florals, fruits, and other amazing flavors and is alarmingly full on the retro, be careful! Sweet, tangy, salty, and mango flavors sum up the first third.
The second third is all of the above, but now there is even more balance. It remains a full-body banger for me at least, but offers depth and nuance most full-body bangers do not achieve. Florals, fruits, cedar, mango, salts, pepper, leather, spice, and a creamy oaky smoke. The sensations are incredible and the flavors are unreal.
In the final third, somehow vanilla enters the equation. Because of the dominant mango notes, when the vanilla enters it makes it very creamsicle-like. I still get spices, pepper, fruits, oak, and leather but now it’s changed somehow for the better. Enjoy the cigar of the summer, Mango Cedar!
Pairing Notes: Dried Mangos. Overproof bourbon. Iced tea of all flavors. Coffee light and sweet. Thai food. Pineapple soda. Mango flavored anything, like mango sorbet. Crumb cake.
