The nose starts with a rich fresh baked chocolate pecan pie with a slightly burnt pie crust followed by fresh cut oranges and cherry chutney that transitions to barrel spices of cloves, nutmeg, leather and gold medal flour with high ethanol burn. The taste is a rich mouthfeel starting with that rich pecan pie, then orange and cherry fruit that is quickly disrupted with a high tannic bitterness with a mix of raw flour, black tea and wet log that encompasses the rest of the dram with high ethanol burn that finishes medium length with 100 percent bitter dark chocolate, burnt pie crust and cherry flavored NyQuil. This seemed promising at first with that rich nose and similar profile of a whiskey baked by the Texas sun, but the taste is just a slight glimpse of those flavors before the highly tannic flavors overpower the rest of the dram. These appear to be selling for $100 which is an easy pass and a side by side comparison with a Jack Daniels Barrel Proof Single Barrel revealed that the Jack is a far superior whiskey at just $70 that brings a rich barrel proof experience with a balance of flavors that doesn’t veer towards a high tannic bitterness. Huge thanks to @ContemplativeFox for the sample.
