I find this one to be pretty similar to Golden Arrow from the same company, except it’s less smokey caramel and more sweet spirits. Unlike GA, It has a thinner but flavourful mouthful that takes me right to the downtown distillery! Vanilla, cocoa and malt, with hints of burnt sugar and smoke. It doesn’t burn the throat going down like bourbon does, but it’s close!
It’s a pretty accurate rendition of a alcoholic drink, and also brings to mind O’Connor’s Cream from TeaGschwendner (that one’s way bolder though).
Taken with both dairy milk and oat milk on different occasions. That may be what turns this bourbon into an Irish Cream sibling.
Steep Count: 2
Flavors: Alcohol, Burnt Sugar, Cocoa, Malt, Smoke, Vanilla, Whiskey

White Antlers sent me O’Connor’s Cream and it is a definite repurchase. I was happy to find out I can get it at Tin Roof Teas in Raleigh where we love to take a day trip shopping anyway.
This sounds similar to the Irish Whiskey variety from TeaMaze that I really like.
O’Connnor’s Cream is pretty rich and unique; I wish their teas were easier to get a hold of where I am!
This one is more a pale memory of it. Subtle notes of Bourbon, vanilla, and cocoa isn’t the same as full-throttle Irish Cream Whiskey.
I’ll have to check into TeaMaze! I seem to like boozy teas, although the thing that wins me over here is probably that it’s a vanilla black I can take with milk (that time of the year again).
It’s still too warm in Missouri for tea with milk, but we’re seeing glimmers of seasonal change! I leave for work just pre-sunrise now, so got to gawk at a trio of deer who came down to the creek for breakfast.
That’s a lovely scene and a wonderful way to meet the dawn! Are there lots of deer around where you are?
We had a lot of rain today. You could’ve missed the skyscrapers and mountain peaks for all the low clouds and precipitation. ‘Raincouver’ has reverted to its original state.
We’re in a little burg of a suburb with lots of brush and farm pastureland, and if you pretend, you can almost ignore the noise from the interstate about a half mile away :) Pretty healthy deer population, the usual possums and armadillos, but sometimes you get bonus critters: wild turkeys, cranes (on the creek), and my husband recently spotted a bald eagle. About 40 miles north, in northern Barton and Dade County, eagles are pretty common.
