Neat. Neck pour. Kelvin Collaboration I is one of my favorite pours ever. I didn’t get my hands on the second one. Really looking forward to this tasting while outside on my patio on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The nose is lighter and brighter than I expected. The Sherry is shining through more than the rum as well. I would venture to guess this is younger than batch I, or at least has more younger barrels in the blend. The Sherry is delightful though. Under that is a layer of peanut shells. Lot of fruit tort qualities here. Very sweet, hint of sour. Pie crust. Leans towards vanilla waffles even. Very rich and pure dessert. On to the taste... Another home run.... god Four Gate. I just need to never pass on these again. Mouth feel is oily and syrupy thick. The rum finish makes it presence known immediately on the front of the palate. Cinnamon sugar sweetness turned up to an almost overwhelming degree. Transitions to this decadent dark chocolate and a medley of fruits. Those fruits are covered in a glaze of simple syrup. The more I sit with it, the flavors from the bourbon are starting to come out as well. Rich caramel and tobacco. I’m just going to curl up into a ball and smile for awhile... Side by side against Kelvin I, this may actually be better. Which is crazy. They are two totally different beasts. Kelvin I the finishing is more of a compliment to an older bourbon. It’s darker and the oak shines through. The Kelvin III it light, bright, and tremendously sweet. But it also has more depth to it and is simply more delicious if you are in the mood for the sweetness. Strong recommend.
