Redwood Empire Grizzly Beast Bottled in Bond Bourbon (Spring 2017 Vintage)

The nose is cherry and sweet. Not much else is there. The taste is oak forward with a nice rich fruitiness following it. in the following sips the caramel from the corn comes through bright and strong. The mouth feel is really good, it coats your mouth nicely. There is a very slight sour note in the aftertaste. The finish is shorter than expected but its nice and present. Overall, this is a wonderful drink. I have enjoyed this before and definitely a good bottle that speaks to my palete. Had to find it on one of my trips and I am happy with the choice.

Great nose and everything comes through on the palate. A little maple syrup at first then some cinnamon red hot finish. Very good and flavorful for BiB. This was actually batch 3 but it was not available to rate.

Very sweet smell. Vanilla prominent with some carmel. Or a sweet cotton candy. Sweet on the palate too with a toach of oak. Kind of get an initial hit then it finishes super smooth with decent viscosity. The sweetness lingers in a good way. Very good BIB.
