Tastes

Sometimes it tastes 5 stars often when drinking just this not vs top shelf rivals. On its own or vs Stagg jr, its 5 star. Cocoa, pecan pie, chocolate dusted almond, sugars and spice. Proof hits like 110-115 proof with the flavors. More oak and not nearly as fruity as GTS 2017. Gave it 4.5 because vs wlw or others it lost some of the pop.

Vanilla waves. Sweetest and best nose. Some oak and dusty mid palate but finish leaves sweet vanilla and sugars. To me better than my 2023 GTS and any other BTAC I’ve tried. Hope to always have Pappy 15 on the shelf.
