Starlight Carl T. Huber's Cigar Batch Bourbon Finished in Brazilian Amburana Barrels

Tasting- this is 2 oz neat, Binnys SIB pick at 111 proof in a glen cairn Nose- Cinnamon stick, a bit of ethanol, and vanilla cream cheese frosting. Palate- Cinnamon candy, vanilla frosting, and fresh baked pastry dough. This is like a cinnabon! Only complaint is that it rides a tad bit hot, but quickly tempered with a few drops of water. Mouthfeel is creamy, and luxurious Finish- long and spicy. The cinnabon roll turns to hot tamale candies. Overall- completely unique! I have never tasted a finished bourbon like it. If you were expecting traditional bourbon flavors- this isn't it. Starlight has done something completely different here. Normally their finished bourbon tastes young, and the finishes used to dress that up. Here it is transformed to something completely unique and complimentary. Overall a very good experience. Traditional bourbon drinkers will find it all wrong. Exploratory whiskey enthusiasts will find it a completely "on of a kind." I am torn on this one.

I am eating a cinammon roll!

Aman's Single Barrel store pick

Nose: lime, cinnamon, peanut, vegetal notes, peaty notes, hazelnut, agave Taste: lime, grassy notes, mint, brown sugar cookies Unlike any other bourbon I've tasted. Great bottle

so unique. Leathery spice on the nose. Dry, spicy, complex and hard to figure out. Really good in a unique way.
