There are lots of flavors coming out despite the high alcohol. Cherry is quite strong. First taste was overpowering but then the tastes started kicking in. We won’t order this one. But now it makes us want to do a larger brandy tasting.

Aaron, Sep 28, 2020

Nice oaky fruity flavors. Not too much burn considering the 62%.

Niko, Sep 10, 2020

Good first taste but too strong in alcohol. After taste not so good... I don’t like to blend with water at home... Reminds somewhat of famous Finnish whisky produced in Valamo Monastery..

PJ, Sep 5, 2020

Nose reminds me of gin. Palate is fruity, floral, black licorice, and black peppercorns.

Ameya, Sep 5, 2020

Lots of cherry upfront, kind of overwhelmed everything else. Word of advice- don't use a snifter, use a tulip or a glencairn glass, the alcohol will overwhelm everything else.

Matthew, Sep 3, 2020

A go to for me. If bourbon and brandy had a baby it'd be C&K

Kenneth, Aug 22, 2020

Cherry forward, though takes more medicinal. Cherry overwhelmed all other flavors

Antti, Aug 21, 2020

It is am outstanding, intense, Cask Strength Small Batch Brandy that has an aromatic birth; while a bold life leads to a dry & velvety death with hints of flowers, toasted oak & tannins.

Cortland, Aug 20, 2020

Love this. Strong enough that it needs to be on rocks to enjoy, but so good.

Matthew, Aug 14, 2020

Normally a whisky drinker - enjoyed this but not rushing back for more - more than 2 and I don’t honk I could stand up

ZEBULON, Aug 14, 2020

Good, just not overwhelming

Steven, Aug 10, 2020

Medicinal; biting on the palate; strong aftertaste

Terry, Aug 7, 2020

Very smooth. Nice after dinner

Hansen, Aug 2, 2020

damn smooth, quite fragrant & just enough sweetness to tenderize the aromatic flavor

Daniel, Jul 1, 2020

It smelled like buttery maple syrup; dry,hot mouth feel. It's so dry it feels like its warmer than room temperature. A waft of tobacco rolls down your throat as it finishes with a slight oaky nibble.

Troy, Jun 28, 2020

Strong cherry nose and strong overall flavor. But doesn't come across well balanced or finished. At the price point there are far better brandy and cognac out there.

Nathan, Jun 26, 2020

Maybe it’s because it’s my first shot at brandy but it was way to much for my wife and I. Couldn’t get over the alcohol smell or taste.

Alex, Jun 19, 2020

A great brandy for whisky lovers, the dark cherry reigns supreme in the profile. If you like whisky give this a try!

William, Jun 16, 2020

Very strong and very cherry! Not for beginners, packs a punch.

Alicia, Jun 1, 2020

You can definitely taste the black sherry. Taste great

Angela, May 30, 2020

Way too harsh and a more harsh finish that lingers for 5-10 mins. No thanks

Andrew, May 29, 2020

“Give me the strongest stuff you got,” said Doc Brown to his bartender in 1885. That was the first thing that crossed my mind when I took a sip of this almost illegal proof brandy. If pain is your pleasure, pop this bottle. It has the nose of acetone and the aftertaste of regret. Do not pour this into the time machine in lieu of gasoline, you’d do better to put some logs on the fire and strap in for your trip across Eastwood ravine.

Jason, Sep 26, 2020

I think this is the funniest review I have ever read. Thanks for the laugh.

Mike, May 27, 2020

I am not sure what others were drinking but burn too much... so nice notes underneath of typical brandy but unpleasant initially. Finish was solid though.

Paul, May 23, 2020

Strong flavor but still a smooth taste

Cameron, May 21, 2020

If brandy was scotch... this would be it!

Calvin, May 19, 2020

Not normally a brandy fan, but this is good stuff.

Gerard, May 18, 2020

Pretty smooth not harsh a little sweet at the first but then evens out

edward, May 7, 2020

Not a big Brandy drinker but this was amazing! has a great taste of cherry that shines through the first hint of oak. Would highly recommend. Great drink to have warmed up.

Ryan, May 6, 2020

Sadly I has to drink it with ICE.

Alex, Apr 30, 2020

Strong cherry notes with oak undertones

Rene, Apr 26, 2020

Very different with a cherry entrance. Has some orange and a bit of marmalade. Distinguished

Jon, Apr 19, 2020

I had a single-barrel example in the spirit advent calendar from Flaviar that I really enjoyed, but there were no bottles of that available. But I found this bottle from the same producer with similar tasting notes, so I thought I'd give it a try. The result was an even better experience. What a fantastic brandy!

Raoul, Apr 17, 2020

Surprising! It’s obviously a brandy, but I also taste juniper and flowers like a gin. Nice and strong, a bit rustic and good for sipping neat after the bbq. Not refined orcomex to gain a 9 though. Very pleasant

Timothy, Apr 16, 2020

Wow! This is uniquely different and damn well inviting! Nose: delightful tannic chocolate covered Washington state cherries. Canned peaches for sure hit right afterwards. Taste: (added a capful of Kirkland’s finest h2o) the high proof definitely gets you but once you get past the woody tannins you get tropical fruits and something akin to a nice Belgian lambic berry ale with a bit of creaminess at the end. Finish: light toasted wood and mandarin oranges with a slight cream finish. A really delightful finish that goes on and on. I definitely need to buy a bottle. I am a Wine guy 1st and Bourbon 2nd (nearly 1st) and this Brandy fits the proverbial bill as a beautiful - in between - the Love child. Highly recommend you get a bottle too.

Barbara, Apr 14, 2020

Was so excited that I missed the rating....

Barbara, Apr 14, 2020

Wow. A great surprise. After the first sip we revisited the smal print on the bottle, were then not surprised to read 124 proof and decided to treat this like a whiskey... hence diluting it with water. What a unique and wonderful spirit.

Tim, Apr 12, 2020

Very good

Pierce, Apr 12, 2020

Smooth and sweet, with a slight burn

Paul, Apr 11, 2020

Simply delightful on the rocks. I was not expecting so much flavour at this proof!

Peter, Apr 6, 2020

Bit of a bite but a great aftertaste

Zachary, Apr 2, 2020

Yummy brandy

Michael, Mar 23, 2020

Wow, just wow

Laura, Mar 21, 2020

Burns but nice taste

Ryan, Mar 15, 2020

Way too much Alcohol. On first sip I could taste the notes, but after that it was just harsh strong alcohol.

Aaron, Mar 13, 2020

Great flavor!

Angela, Mar 10, 2020

You would never guess it was 62% alcohol. The dark berry flavor begins and ends with an oak and dry finish. Would love to try this with a ribeye.

Rocco, Mar 7, 2020

Best Brandy I’ve had in a loooong time! I can see why it won the top 5 in the 2020 Flaviar Awards!

Lelia, Mar 6, 2020

Can't wait to taste this! I had the pleasure of touring this distillery. Think old railroad carts re-purposed into a gift shop and outdoor tasting bar in a wide open outdoor event space with a huge fire pit and butterfly garden! Then the tour complete with a barrel tasting and bottling opportunity. You must number and register your bottle by signing your bottle out of the facility. At the time of my bottling the brandy alcohol content was at 128 proof! The proof changes from day to day. You're warned not to resale unless you want excise hunting you down, lol. My 78 year old uncle visited during the holidays. Between the Indiana Blackberry wine and the Louisville Brandy, I think I became his favorite niece :)

David, Mar 4, 2020

Good flavor after a bit but way too harsh

Kelli, Mar 2, 2020

Subtle fruit flavor and a smooth finish.

Chris, Feb 28, 2020

Very rich taste, a little harsh up front, but it smooths out into a much warmer and nicer finish.

Mojca, Feb 10, 2020

Amazingly rich taste, I love it.

David, Feb 5, 2020

I love this brand of brandy

Sébastien, Feb 5, 2020

Simply my favorite brandy out there.

Mark, Jun 26, 2019

The perfect nightcap. Will peel the paint off your doors, and a little goes a long way. But tastes great and very enjoyable as a low-volume sipper. Tried it with water, which didn't change it much, so I'm drinking it neat a small snifter at a time.

Eden, Jul 19, 2019

I completely agree.
