Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year

2016 Bottle: Nose: Lots of sweet smokey oak at first but as it opens cherries, chocolate drizzle, and a touch of spice comes through. Palate: Oak and vanilla on the front, then more of the spice comes through than one might expect from the nose. Finish: Long finish and T first it’s that sweet oak/tea and vanilla goes back and forth but then settles out with a touch overripe cherry note. Pretty complex finish that gives a nice hug for the proof.

It’s excellent no question. Oak, cinnamon, softness, great depth of flavor. Worth msrp, maybe even double. Beyond that is crazy talk though

Butterscotch, cinnamon
