Barrel 17-0896, Total Wine, $80 in WA. Nose of vanilla. Initial taste is sweet. The main flavor is complex enough I don’t have the skill to break it down as x% this and y% that. But that’s good; I like a complex opera than a solo note. It is flavorful but smooth. There is no astringency or bite like typical of 116 proof (even with a dash of water ). I’d buy this again.
