Doing a competition between all recipes. Head to head with B versions VS E versions.
Nose: wildflower honey on the nose for OESF. Somewhat sweet too but also very flowery. OBSF is a little bit sweeter to me on the nose. Black licorice for me.
Palate: OESF: amazing palate. Sweet and thick. Also very hot initially (113.2 proof). Not super complex but very tasty. OBSF: little more tame on the palate and a bit more complex. Licorice on the palate too.
Finish: OBSF: kind of a short finish. OESF: medium length finish.
Overall: both very good picks and my first crack at a four roses barrel pick. To me the OESF wins just by a hair.
