Barrel 15-1616, 4 year old, bottled Spring 2019, 55.45% abv. Impressions @ half-bottle: Judging by my notes on the first pours out of this bottle, I can tell that I wasn't a fan. The nose was muted, the palate was soapy and sickly sweet, and the finish was harsh and unbalanced. I stuck this in a closet, and forgot about it for over a year. I rediscovered this recently and found that it had really blossomed with time. The nose remains muted and the finish feels a bit short for the proof, but the palate has become exceptional. Tasted blind, I might have confused this for a low-proof ECBP. It's a wonderful balance of cherry cola, spiced rum, fresh-cut wood, and leather. I'm increasingly finding that rye whiskey and high-rye bourbons seem to benefit from a little extra air.
