Tastes

Not a fan of amburana. Too woody for me.

Nice mild rum notes. Smooth.

Too peaty for my taste.

I think I like the regular Restoration Rye (2023 batch 2) just a tad more from this single barrel, but its close. The blended version has more nuance and better flavor; a credit to the blender. This barrel isn't bad though, just lacks ever so slighty in flavor. A decent offering. Slight pepper notes. A bit hotter. Worth the $75 though.

Was hoping for more from this. Tastes too young to me; needs more barrel. Still smooth, not harsh. Lacks in flavor.

Ran slightly hot for me at first. Heat subsided in about 5 minutes with an ice ball. Smooth flavor. Hints of vanilla, light caramel, and sugar. Glad I was able to purchase as its a very limited offering. I was lucky enough to get after a Dalmore tasting session at a liquor store that only got 6 bottles. Only 3600 bottles available in US. Not in my absolute favorite scotches, but pretty high up there.

Decent bourbon, but don't understand the hype. To me it was just a very good bourbon; nothing exceptional.

Decent. Like 12 year better.
