Was strolling the isles at Total Wine and a sign that read “free samples” caught my attention. Don’t mind if I do! Only details I recall were Rickhouse G and 9 years. I loved the CNA and CNB picks I’ve tried but G is uncharted territory. Out of a tiny plastic thimble it’s hard to appreciate the nose on this. The palate was a different story. Roasted cinnamon, oak, brown sugar, black tea and a nice coating mouthfeel with a long spicy finish. This was more spice/wood/earth driven than the fruity and bright A/B picks I’ve tried. Now to try C, D, E and the rest!
