Oh my funky goodness.


Smells like bananas at a nail salon.
Tastes about the same. Lol

For over proof it isn't harsh. Nice warm velvety mouthfeel. A bit astringent, like camphor or something I used as a kid for bug bites or cuts.

Almost a cinnamon candy hotness/burn on the tongue.

Yes and honestly, didn't like it. From what I've ready (not experienced) the bottles pre-Sazerac were much better. Again, just what I've read. I'm not opposed to high $$$ bottles, but it's always nice to find a solid bottle for a decent price.


Has anyone/does anyone have a review/opinion on James E Pepper barrel proof?

Finally cracked my bottle. Sorry so slow Brandon! I like it. It’s quite hot for such a relatively low barrel proof. Flavors are semi-sweet. Hate to judge a bottle from just one pour but I’m not excited so far. It’s just ok. If it grows on me I will update.

Picked this up this evening. 103 proof. It is spicy - but a damn good spicy (very nice warmth). Not always a fan of full proof - but this was definitely worth it!

Love the Midwinters Night Dram. On the expensive side, but a truly great pour!
