Review from spun_cookie (BourbonEnthusiast Review ID 1186, Created:20080705183415) | Purchased at: | Gift from BJG | | Info on this bottle: | Japan purchase | | Nose: | Sweet, but not like the red label. No where near the 101.
There is a cherry wood scent to it, but more like bark.. or charred cherry wood. And there is an odd old leather smell. | | Taste: | Hmm, better than I remember and there is cherry in this... then vanilla.. much sweeter than before...
There is a great deal of change in this over time. but the vanilla and cherry remain. the change comes in the form of a little harsh mid pallet bite with some spice, but it comes and goes and does off over time. | | Finish: | Picks up in the finish where the taste ends.. vanilla and then a cherry vanilla. There is an odd sharp taste right at first, but then is it very pleasant.
Strong finish for 15 seconds and then drops a big notch towards a memory. | | Overall: | I have had this before, from this bottle and I thought it was terrible, but today as i taste it, it must have been me.
This is good. Not as good as the MM101 I reviewed, but very good.. |

Review from bourbonguyjapan (BourbonEnthusiast Review ID 1053, Created:20080404065709) | Purchased at: | | | Nose: | Sweet, cherry and wood. | | Taste: | tastes like the red but with more um mph. Somewhat harsher than the regular red.
A little spicy too. Cherry and vanilla with a hint of wood gives way to a sort of spicy taste.
| | Finish: | It finishes on a sweet and spicy note. | | Overall: | Think "red" meets rye. |
