2019, likely batch 12 while out and about. Rich amber color, many slim legs.
The nose is like a vanilla caramel Sunday with elements of oak, tobacco and ethanol. The first sip is so deceiving - velvety and smooth. Then like a naturally aspirated flat 6 or v8 it builds, and builds. The burn whales toward the end as you breathe fumes.
The palate is hands down amazing though. Rich, complex, etc but for me it was almost like drinking a Mexican fried ice cream. Vanilla, maple, cream/butter with cinnamon and cherry toward the finish.
This is my end of times bourbon, one for gunslingers and heroes.
