Lost Prophet 22 Year Bourbon

Full, fruity, rich nose, mild **** on finish, long lingering oily, sweet like vanilla, very minimal cinnamon/ spice, awesome

Incredibly rich and complex. Smooth tart apple cinnamon pie. Leather and oak. Mildly spicy finish.

Tart apple, cinnamon, stewed fruit, leather, oak. Maybe some cranberry?

It grew on me with time, but definitely not worth the price. As a 22-year-old, 90 proof version of Stagg, I wasn’t that impressed - I’d rather drink Blantons & same a bunch of $. And then I’d rather drink Smoke Wagon. But, you do get some wood content from the aging that is unique - good flavor addition w/o overpowering.

Was great. Wanted it to be the greatest. I think forged oak is a hair better.

The banana - caramel is most notable, the leather is also apparent, as my sniffer is broken from this cold weather I can't be overly confident of a good report on the nose. What comes through is good though and nothing out of place off the top. Much dryer than what I was expecting, perhaps the extra aging is the reason but not as sweet for a higher proof, the burnt toast and banana effect sticks and while its tailing off with some nibs the apple sweetness makes an appearance. Surprisingly accurate notes from Distiller on this one, while some of the sugars may have aged out the extra aging does yield the relative warm cream like finish. One thing I like about Prophet 22 is how well the finish fades out without even a hint of harshness. I guess if you're looking for a 200$ bottle this will suffice, it's sure to beat out some others in that price range but I'm not sure it really beats some of the better Booker releases at half the price. If it's a true orphan barrel the enthusiast who can would likely want to buy on sight. Cheers!
