Ole Shenandoah - Barrel Edition.
I selected this last night out of curiosity. The name Barrel Edition, to me, implies that it's an aromatic flavoured with whisky, or some other spirit. But that's not the case.
Rather stoutly cut ribbons, including dark, medium, and lightly coloured pieces. The scent from the tin has a caramel note to it and the hydration's good.
Unlike a lot of aromatics I don't find my palate being accosted by heavy, vanilla, black Cavendish. In fact, it isn't ANYTHING like that. I can easily identify the citrusy/sharp Virginias and coarse Burleys; there are more of these than the black Cavendish. On the negative side I find it bites hard, so have no other choice than to sip at it with caution. I'm unsure as to what, exactly, the toppings are. At first nuts come to mind, and there's a caramel-esc sweetness. But, by halfway there's a sourness and it reduces the pleasure. The consistency of a burn's good, requiring little maintenance.
Nicotine: mild to medium. Room-note: nice.
Barrel Edition? Unlike the other two reviewers to date, because of the bite and sourness, I can't give it any higher than two stars:
Somewhat recommended.
