Poured neat Nose is straight up caramel and candy corn with a touch of dark chocolate. Not as much ethanol burn as I would have expected for a 121 proof. Palate hits notes of brown sugar caramelized syrup drizzled over chocolate with a creamy mouth feel and then fades to charred oak earthiness that reminds me of smoked almonds. Chocolate, almond toffee flavor. The finish is long and spicy from the proof. In the finish I get the oak from the barrel and more of the charred barrel in the smoked almond flavor. Picked up two bottles because I expected this to be awesome. It didn’t disappoint. Will go back and get a couple more before it’s gone for sure.
