Tastes

Still loving this so very much after a few tastings. It’s a rollercoaster and I love it. Nose is very much sherry. As if you took a complex Cabernet and poured a well aged whiskey into it. Very fruit forward, but elements of vanilla and pecan are present. It is dramatically different from the bulleit 10 year, which would be a comparable MGP mashbill but aged and finished in a very different way. Taste begins with candied nuts and vanilla, which develops into a strong cinnamon spice from the MGP rye. In contrast to the start of the taste, it’s almost overwhelmingly spicy. The spice fades, giving way to caramel and barrel notes. I am very much a fan.
