Starlight Carl T. Huber's Double Oaked Bourbon

Batch B2201 106 proof 4 1/2 years Aroma - Toasted marshmallow, vanilla frosting… Caramel, apples and peaches, pie crust, baking spices. There is a slight cherry cola note towards the back on this one. Very good nose to be honest. Very inviting cannot wait to see if the taste follows the nose. Taste - Caramel with flat cherry cola. Brown sugar.. touch of apples, cinnamon, slight green/herbal tea note.. some rye spice coming through but…. Oh no… Mouthfeel is very thin, finish is underwhelming and quite drying. Damn this finish is insanely drying. Stop it! You son of a *****! Overall - Going to be brutally honest.. I cannot recommend. The aroma was great but the flavor profile is lacking and the finish is just not working for me. The drying aspect happens mid palate and just continues through the finish wiping out all flavors that popped. Save your money and if you want a double oaked product then go with Woodford Double Oaked or OF 1910 to this. Not sure if I will ever venture into the Starlight world again after this offering. This bottle is very disappointing.

SOB home alone pick from Dec 2021. Spicy, hot, heavy cinnamon. Drinks like a red hot. Good, fairly smooth for the age and how hot it is. proof 112.1 *Tasted a t Paynes First log, but not first taste.

112proof 5 year. Very good
