I have over 100 aftershave splashes, but one stands out. I acquired a big ol' jug of it last month, and tonight decided to make a backup bottle my final purchase of 2016. As I'm signed up for the 2017 restraint, I intend to make this my last shaving purchase for over a year... I certainly acquired some great AS bottles this year, e.g., Pashana, PAA The Beach, and Barrister's Reserve Cool and Spice, to name but a few, but this one is special.
The stuff is touted as a bay rum, but it's unlike any of the other bay rums I've used, including several from Ogalalla, Captain's Choice and PAA. To my nose, it has a very pleasant vanilla scent, and tremendous face feel. Amazing stuff.
What is it? Derby City Chop Shop Winter Reserve, in the 7.5oz bottle that looks very similar to the bottle of Maker's Mark in my liquor cabinet.
What's your favorite aftershave discovery of 2016?
