Quite good. The green chili flavors are clearly present but almost without any spiciness.
2012 release
Picked up this old bottle unexpectedly at a shop. A marked contrast to the Bourbon County, this opens smooth and chocolaty, like an after-dinner chocolate, but with a fast developing savoriness that brings to mind stewed chilies. The green chile is more of the fruit flavor than it is spice, although a mild warmth does build up over time. Mellow and much better than expected.
