Castle Long Reserve

Castle Long Reserve, from five pawns, again, an amazing liquid sent by Vapeo24 with the purpose of doing a detailed review.

According to the brand; A meticulously crafted aroma that captures the sophistication of a Kentucky bourbon aged in charred oak barrels, complemented by an exquisite combination of coconut, toasted almonds, Madagascar vanilla, and caramelized brown sugar.

First of all, to mention that this liquid comes in a 15mL aroma format and must be mixed with base in proportion to taste and nicokits if necessary. Afterwards, it must be left to macerate for 15 to 20 days, but as I always say, the longer, the better.

In smell, the first thing that shows up is the bourbon, in this variant much stronger than in the Castle Long Custard. It seems that it will be the base note of this liquid. I can also notice the almonds and I think it will be a very good companion to the alcohol. On the other hand, I notice a sweet note that I will attribute to the vanilla and brown sugar, although I don't distinguish each one separately, they are there.

When vaping it, in the inhalation the bourbon is noticeable, this time much more pronounced, with much more body. In the exhalation I can notice the sweetness of the vanilla and brown sugar, in addition to the almond notes. I can affirm that this is a much more "dry" liquid than the Custard variant, because here there is no note that provides that creaminess. Really all the notes are very well achieved, except for the coconut, I still don't notice it in this variant either, which surprises me.

Again, the packaging in which this special version comes, with its crystal bottle and dropper, is worthy of honorable mention. It may sound repetitive, but for me this is not a daily liquid, but one to leave for special occasions and enjoy very, very relaxed.
