Tasting Notes
"Naturally, with more age you will experience more barrel influence in the whiskey. In this case, the oak and char seem to overwhelm most of the character you happen to find. Vanilla and caramel can be sussed out along with overcooked apples. The finish is peppery and on the bitter side of life. It may not be a bad thing that there is not more of this to sell."
