China Black Whiskey
A second whiskey blend appeared in my Altadis sampler, this one from Iwan Ries. Hoping for the same, stellar experience I had with the Dutch Masters, I tore into this pouch pretty eagerly. The pouch aroma was completely different. Hmm. Like the Dutch Masters, it's got a pretty simple description:
A mixture of light and dark leaf laced with the flavor of fine Kentucky whiskey. Super taste plus super aroma.
This is a spicier whiskey blend for sure. Definitely enjoyable, and even more pleasant to alternate with the Dutch Masters. A different take on the whiskey blend altogether. This one I believe derives it's spicy nature from the addition of turkish/oriental leaves, which is how I began noticing that I found those leaves to be extremely pleasant on my simple, budding palate.
