Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged + comparison to the Special Reserve

I recorded a dedicated review on the Plum Pudding Special Reserve but unfortunately the entire video was muted. As both the Bourbon Barrel Aged & Special Reserve are similar in leaf type, i decided to review this excellent blend in which i compare it to the Special Reserve. Both are excellent Balkan blends but in my opinion the Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged is the flagship of the Plum Pudding series. It is an exquisite Balkan!!

BOURBON BARREL AGED Blend info.
Plum Pudding BOURBON BARREL AGED ~ How to improve upon perfection? Sipping his favorite bourbon gave Master Blender Joe Lankford an idea. World famous original Plum Pudding packed into charred oak Kentucky bourbon barrels, aged 30 days, pressed into cakes and crumble cake cut. The result? Heavenly marriage of spirits & the best Balkan blend ever made. A chunk of bourbon barrel rests in every tin. Complex, smoky, spicy and still positively addictive. Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged is Joe’s dream come true. Enjoy the ingredients: Latakia, Turkish Orientals, Virginias, Cavendish and Perique. Notes. This blend is claimed to be a crossover of the now elusive, McClelland’s Frog Morton's Cellar
