  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

EP Carrillo New Wave Reserva

1st third is very mild almost like smoking paper. Notes of hay, balsa wood and coffee with too much milk in it. Its bland and boring and very disappointing. Toward the end of the 1st third I picked up some mineral pencil lead tastes.

Entering the 2nd 3rd a creamy texture develops and a touch of spice appears. Woody notes are more pronounced and heavier. A major improvement. At the half way mark some cedar notes come into play.

Final third the wood and cedar notes with underlying spice are ramped up to a solid Medium + in body. There is a touch of harshness in the final third.

I think the smaller vitolas would serve this blend better. Mine was a toro.
