Neat. Neck pour. Sneaky cask strength 12 year MGP labeled as Alabama Whiskey? Yes please. On the nose, oak and apple lead. The apple slices are covered in cinnamon and brown sugar. The oak is gorgeous. I have had dozens of 12 year MGP over the years and never gotten this much oak. Maybe had this level on some 14 or 15 years but those came off as over oaked though. This has that oak but with the 12 year depth. Vanilla bean. Coffee bean. Black tea. What the hell? This is hitting its own MGP flavor profile. Yeah it’s even coming together as a tiramisu. Getting red fruits now, bit of cherry. Wow. I want to keep smelling but I really need to take a sip before I go nuts. Please live up to the nose, please please please. Mouthfeel is fantastic, oily and dense and coating. Dark initially. Cinnamon and brown sugar, coffee bean up front. Lightens up mid palate. Vanilla and apple attack with uppercuts. The finish is more familiar MGP. Honey, graham cracker, chocolate, butterscotch. The oak really lingers on the finish - slight bitterness but not a turn off. Vanilla comes back in waves during the finish. Delicious! It didn’t blow me away on the taste like it did the nose but it didn’t let me down either. This is a unique flavor range for MGP. I would buy another if I had a chance.
