Neat. Neck pour. First of the Untitled series. All of this finishing sounds crazy and I love the Cognac finished stuff I have had lately.
This nose is deep. Chocolate covered raisins. Tootsie roll. Syrup covered baked dates. Pralines and rock candy. Sugared covered almond. I think you get the point on the sweetness. No escaping it. Dark, sweet, syrupy.
Average mouth feel. Maple and Sherry up front. Dark honey... this one has me so stumped. So much going on all over. Befuddled. The bourbon isn’t really there. It’s all the finishing, the cognac, port, Sherry. All at once. But it is all blanketed by this lovely vanilla and butterscotch. Finish has some nice chocolate but is mostly cognac driven.
This is a crazy pour. Hard to call it a bourbon. The finishing took over all phases. It’s fun and well balanced for this much finishing going on. Unique and delicious.
