Smooth, nice, pleasant not overpowering nose. A little hot on the finish, but not too much. I think I will be buying another bottle. Only downside: a bit hard to find, but no more so than Eagle Rare. But at $36 a bottle, a good value buy.
Neat. Fresh bottle. Been awhile since I opened a McKenna 10 year. Delicious oak with a hint of peanuts shells on the nose. The age is really coming through on this pour. Orange peel and burnt caramel. The oak is morphing into this delightful milk chocolate. Little hint of pepper and mint.
Oh hell yeah. This is by far the best McKenna I have had. Immediately on the tongue, the brown sugars, cinnamon come together to form a pronounced cinnamon roll. All those flavors from the nose start coming forward. Burnt caramel, orange peel and chocolate. Legs bring back those intense brown sugars and cinnamon from the start and they linger for quite a while. That peanut comes around on the taste the more I sit with it.
This is barrel 6716. It’s awesome. I am shocked. The last McKenna I had was a dud but this one restores my faith.
Nose is strong vanilla, caramel, and cherry daring you to nose it one more time before your first sip.
Pallet is a hot cinnamon and caramel blend waking the senses.
In the finish cinnamon soaks into your mouth and lingers allowing a memory of what you just experienced then a hint of smoke becomes present just at the tail end.
This being a BIB it is going to be strong. Thankfully it isn't too overbearing.
