I’m a big fan of Dragon’s Milk, and I’ve been enjoying a few bottles of the 2015 vintage over the past couple months. A couple weeks ago, I picked up a bottle with a new black and orange label. There is no vintage listed, but there is now a "bottled on" date stamped on the bottle. Mine was April of 2016. I assumed this was just a label change, but it seems different to me. The bourbon taste was much more "in your face", and I could really taste the alcohol. It was seriously almost like taking a straight shot of bourbon, the way it hung around in my nose.

Has anyone else noticed this? Was it maybe just that bottle, and not a trend? Just curious what anyone else thinks...

Orange and Black bottles are the Reserve series and it was the Bourbon Barrel Coffee and Chocolate... The regular bottles are still Brown and Black
