Sutliff - Cringle Flake 2023 1.5oz
Good but dry
Nice flavor, really evolves in the middle third. But wow it's dry. Have to rehydrate before I cellar it.

If you love DFK
Everything starts great, but then the DFK comes to the party in force and overwhelmes the delicate bourbon-vanilla. I find this DFK dominance gets stronger as the bowl goes on. I wish it was applied with a lighter hand. The word 'cream' in the name is to me misleading, as there is a harsh edge that has remained for two years. I'm disappointed but you may love it

Top aro
Out of all the aromatics I’ve tried, this is in the top two or three. Such a warm, delicious flavor, with still some tobacco taste thrown in. I tried my tin at 2 years old and it was fantastic. The surprising thing was the burn- two lights and it went all the way to a fine grey ash, with a little moisture in the heel.
