Aged Solani Silver Flake Not The Same

[cosmicfolklore]

Curious, how aged were these? I think Tilbury is pretty much perfect right out of the gate but I have no choice but to age it, that is the conundrum most of us find ourselves in. I've still never tried BriarFox but I do have 10 year old tin in the cellar.

I have several ages of each, maybe 14 years being the oldest. I don't think they're bad, just different. BriarFox seems to smooth out, but loses sweetness. The harshness settles, but it smokes really smooth.

I found Tilbury to be more earthy, almost slightly mushroomy. At first I was repulsed by it, but mainly because I wasn't expecting it. But, I've come to really like it. I suspect that Tilbury has a lot more burly in the mix than one would think.

Also, BriarFox by C&D also seems to lose all sweetness, or at least the batches I cellared. Esoterica's Tilbury seems to lose sweetness as well.

Yeah, but for some reason that aged Tilbury hits the right buttons for me. ?️

Have you noticed that?

Yep. I've noticed the same with Old Dark Fired.

Yep. I've noticed the same with Old Dark Fired.

To me, 2012 was the best year for Old Dark Fired.

Me too. I don’t always like sweetness.

I have found that my batch of 2012 Solani 660 has plenty of sweetness. Maybe give it a few more years and see how it is then.

It went bad. Put it down the garbage disposal. ?
