Dead Leaves, Roasted Almonds, and Bourbon Cream

This Dead Leaves: burnt, buttery waffle iron?

 

I think what's meant to be roasted almonds is, at first, closer to something that makes me think of butter and teflon on fire.

 

Once this starts drying in earnest, this wild phase settles into a mild, lightly toasted almond on a rustling DL background. The cream is scarcely detectable. Better, but I'm not sure it's enough.

This is a fiery bourbon concoction. The first blast of roasted roaring bourbon hit me in the kisser. This is potent! After some time has passed this mellowed to a cozy bourbon paste. I don't smell the almonds or the leaves, just the bourbon paste/ cream with a tiny tad of roast in the background.

Roasted almonds, whiff of cream and dead leaves. This is a very foodie DL blend. In fact, the main dominant notes on me are almond and cream. Medium thro and wear length.

I was hoping for a kissing cousin to DL & Scotch from a couple years back.  No such luck.  Here the DL are much less prominent, so that Dead Leaves, Roasted Almonds and Bourbon Cream is foodier than the DL & Molasses Pumpkin Cookie on my other wrist, surprisingly. Kind of a bourbon and almond flavored dessert vibe.  Unless the leaves kick it up a notch, this one won't be a keeper for me.
