Little Book Chapter 4: Lessons Honored

First time trying any of the Little Book line. Nose a little muted at first, but opens up with cinnamon and a little floral quality. Lots of heat up front on this one! Oak, more cinnamon, and some hints of funky peanuts. A touch of water was really helpful here, and brought out a softer sweetness and caramel

At home

Okay, tasting for a 2nd time after sitting on the shelf for a month or so. I like it. It does have a burn, but not as bad as when first opened. It's very sweet, like brown sugar. Some peanut, coffee, and some woodiness. The longer you swish it in your mouth the hotter it gets, but it's pleasant.

Nose - peanut, dry vanilla and caramel, brown sugar, grape, apple, cherry, cola, dark chocolate, leather, sweet tobacco, grass, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - velvety peanut butter, brown sugar, powdered sugar, rye spices, clove, cola, dark chocolate, sake, tobacco, salted caramel, thyme, moderate to high alcohol bite, finishing long with lingering peanut butter, rye spice, and tannic leather flavors. I really like this. There’s a weirdness to it that must be the brown rice bourbon. I wouldn’t buy a bottle of it, but I’m glad I was able to give it a try.
