Neat. Neck pour. Bourbon Junkies Baking Bread pick. 6 y 2 m.
In the nose, Cinnamon toast - sour dough toast. The bottle is called Baking Bread so maybe that is stuck in my head. Powdered sugar. Apricot preserves. Vanilla extract. Lots of rye. There is a hint of fresh grass, but it’s not MGP youngness. It’s the rye I think. Keep getting a nice milk chocolate undertone too.
Mouth feel is average. Powdered sugar and vanilla on the tongue initially. Wow, that packs an unexpected punch. The cinnamon sugar and rye spice are so balance and just comes out punching hard. Lots of vanilla. A very nice butterscotch. So sweet. Baking spices and bread notes on the finish. Hint of chocolate and mint linger. Finish stays for a long time, getting a big Kentucky hug. So much butterscotch. Slight nuttiness coming through.
This is an intense MGP pour. Mid-palate it just escalates and punches with flavor. It is very delicious but no stand out quality I can hang my hat on. It’s just a really solid pour that turns up the volume half way through. Among the 4 to 6 year MGP bottles I have, this is close to the top.
