14 year single barrel from Ace Spirits, bottled in 2016 or 2017.
Amazing single barrels are a curse. I've spent an embarrassing amount of money trying to coax lightening to strike twice. This will likely be my next white whale. At $36, this may simultaneously be one of the cheapest and most expensive bourbons that I will ever purchase.
Rich aromas of cherry cola, maple syrup, and peanut brittle that settle into brown sugar and coffee cake, with rest. The palate mirrors the nose, with a bias towards cherry cola and brown sugar. The mouthfeel is thick and molasses-like, and lingers on brown sugar and salted caramel. The salted caramel effect seems to emerge from the assertive oak notes that emerge seamlessly in the mid-palate. The finish is long and deeply flavorful, and bests every one of the ECBPs and GTSs that I've tried.
