Twizzlers!

OBSV 64.1% Nose: High alcohol at first, dried dark fruit maybe raisin or cherry? Spiced angel's food cake. Palate: Warm, sweet, spices, rich, flavorful, juicy fruit, warms and coats the tongue with syrupy texture, vanilla Finish: Warms the throat a bit, small amount of oak, slightly peppery, almost bitter chocolate, all but fruit lingers for a bit. Adding water brings down burn and syrupy feel. It also adds a bit of soap. This is the Single Barrel amped up a few orders of magnitude! OESQ 61.8% Nose: More alcohol sharpness than OBSV, less fruit, brings out baking spices, tart Palate: Syrupy on tongue, bright but very sweet, way more fruit than the nose hints at, warm, more confectionary sweetness than OBSV, spices near the end. Best flavor. Finish: Oak lingers a bit, warms the tongue and throat, bit of sweetness sticks around for a bit. Adding water brings down burn and syrupy feel. OBSF 58.6% Nose: Alcohol, baking spices with cinnamon standing out, dry dark fruit, tart, a bit floral. Better nose than OESQ. Palate: Syrupy confectionary sweetness, some tart, vanilla, warm cinnamon, nutmeg, spiced cake Finish: Warm, tart, sweet, oak, spices, lingering more than OBSV and OESQ. Best finish. Adding water brings down burn and syrupy feel. It also adds the aroma of cookie dough.
