The verdict? GUILTY. Kind of like the raccoons in that Geico commercial. Burnt hair and mango chutney? I can't get the $&@!-out-of-my-mouth. I would've ranked this over-oaked-dill-bomb lower if the scale would've allowed.

Dec 21st, 20163/2023. Smooth and easy to drink. Nice on the palate. Paired well with the steak martini at Hall’s Chophouse.
